​During morning meeting, Margaret shared a box of treasures she collected during a recent camping trip in the woods. She showed us some rocks that she found, as well as a very unusual stick, and change she collected when she happened upon a trail of coins buried in the dirt in the woods. This was Margaret’s first time tent camping, and Rainey Room friends were just as intrigued about her camping experience as they were by the objects she had  collected. 
​Elle: Did you see the stars and the moon? 
Margaret: I saw the stars out my window. And Hadley and Campbell were all squishing me. 
Louise: Did you see a rainbow?
Margaret: No, it didn’t rain during my camping. 
Grace: Did you sleep with a pillow and have a blankie?
Margaret: I had a new sleeping bag. I didn’t have a chair for camping so my mom buyed one. 
Elle: Did you see bugs?
Jack: Did you see insects?
Lou Lou: Did you see deers? 
Louise: Did you see magic? 
Margaret did not see bugs, insects, or magic. But she did see deers. She also went to Yoder’s to feed the animals. While they were there, her sister tried to catch a bunny and they saw a pig holding a seashell. Wow, what an adventure!

​
Later in the studio, Leigh and Sally continued our exploration of spring trees by closely observing and drawing specimens we've been collecting--including seeds, catkins, baby leaves, as well as some things we've yet to name. Working with Rachael, they created a game in which each of them selected something for the other to draw. They had a great time, learned a lot about the beautiful objects hanging above our heads and falling all around us, and produced amazing detailed drawings.
