It is sooooooooooooooo nice to be back in the courtyard this summer! UR at Lincoln is off to a fabulous start, but we expected no less. Urban Rangers has taught us that if you let children loose in an interesting environment, they will seek the learning experiences themselves. Today confirmed that even more!
Here are some highlights:
 |
| Kudos on Challenge #1! |
 |
| Another kudos for Challenge #1! |
Some Rangers shared stories of journals we made in the past together, and everyone got a new one today and created their first entry! I'll post a pic tomorrow!
 |
| Setting up bug habitats was first order of business! |
 |
| Insects we found today: earwigs, roly polys, ants, bees, beetles, spiders, snails, and big, juicy earthworms! |
 |
| Pill bug in a pocket? Now that's an Urban Ranger! |
 |
| This earthworm showed off her math skills! See the number? |
 |
| One Ranger commented on the worm making the breast cancer ribbon! |
 |
In the art room we set to work on our t-shirts.
We are really excited about this year's design, which incorporates
two techniques we've used in the past: bleach and fabric paint.
Today was phase one: tape and bleach. One Ranger ended up bleaching the clothes
she was wearing! ooops! Note for next year: SMOCKS! |
 |
We took our bleached shirts home to dry and will begin phase two tomorrow: fabric paint! Dress for a mess!
