- Tuesday
- Went on a hike and found a note from a fairy named Fern who needed our help! She is frozen and unable to use her powers until we make her a special potion. We had to hike to lookout rock to find the potion recipe
- The recipe was written on birch bark
- When we got back to the garden, we went on a scavenger hunt to find our ingredients for the potion! We grabbed ferns, plantain leaves, sticks, pinecones, etc.
- Everyone got a turn stirring out potion, it has to sit overnight to steep before we give it to the fairies
- Wednesday
- We hiked to peeper pond and turned into butterflies! We read the Hungry Caterpillar and acted out as if we were caterpillars until it was time to transform into a butterfly! Each student got a straw to be their butterfly tongue. Then we searched the peeper pond trails for cups of “nectar” (lemonade) to drink with our straw tongues. It was magical!
- Dress a butterfly
- We had some free explore time and a game of hide and seek as well
- Then we hiked back up and went to forest camp to build fairy houses
- Got a note from the fairy thanking us for the help!
