What did we do today?

• This morning, we made cast fossils.  We pressed an item into plasticine to make a mold. Then we put plaster of paris in the mold and they will dry over the weekend.  
• We also finished making our field journals.  Ms. Kidd even gave us some library pockets to hold things like notes and pencils.
• After social, we wrote a good copy of our tree descriptions and directions.  Ms. Jones gave us a rubric to mark it and to guide us with our writing.  After that we went out into the Whispering Woods.  We received another groups picture and description/directions and we had to go find that tree. We also had to rate their writing and how well their directions were on the rubric.  They got pretty soaked so we had to redo them on a dry one when we came back in.

Questions:
1. Did everyone find their tree?
2. Did anyone find the teacher's tree?
