Wonder Time 
It was a great Wonder Time Day.  Ask your child about what they chose to do during Wonder Time.  What did you notice as you were working?  What did you learn that you may not have known before?  What were you most proud of today?  What will you choose to do next time?

Here are a few images of what students did during the Outdoor Exploration Time.  Learning about who were share the community with through the tracks that we see.
