    3 - Our Wonder Walk ~12 mins

    The nature table, one stopping place, so children know what to look atWe are going on a wonder walk. We will walk slowly and stop to look. We will stop at a few places, like the window sill, the nature table, the coat pegs and the door mat, and maybe out on the path if we go outside.

    When we stop, look with your eyes. Point to one thing. Say I notice… and tell us what you see.

    4 - Draw What You Noticed ~5 mins

    Use your crayons. Make your picture big so your friends can see it.

    5 - Our Wonder Wall ~5 mins

    Come to the carpet with your picture. This clear space is our wonder wall.

    We will share what we noticed and pin our pictures up. Listen to your friends. What did they notice that you did not see?
