Kinder Camp Out

We had an amazing time at our Kinder Camp Out!  The look on the children's faces when they walked in this morning and saw the tents and stars was priceless!  They were so excited about our Camp Out and it was definitely the perfect way to kick off our "Big Backyard" Theme.  




I even rearranged the things in our home-living center to make the entire room a campsite!




All day long, we camped and had lots of fun!  Each classroom was set up with a camping rotation.

We know from our research that you tell stories around the campfire.  So, for our first rotation, we had Story Time Under the Stars!








Next, we went outside to sing songs around the campfire!





 We were so lucky to have Mrs. Herndon be our camp guide and lead our songs!



















Next, we made a Camp Out book so that we could remember all of the fun we were having!








All of the camping fun was starting to make us hungry.  So, we made the best snack you can make when you go camping...S'mores!




















After such a delicious snack, we realized that it was time for a picnic lunch!  I guess when you go camping you get to eat your desserts before your food!









You never know what kind of wildlife you might run into when you go camping.  Today, we found out that snakes and lizards are not as scary as we thought...well, at least when Mrs. Cooper is holding them!
