“This is the rock struck by the truck and this is the muck where the truck becomes stuck.”

It all began because of the sidewalk. The uneven sidewalk. There’s this little spot on our sidewalk that has a slight upward rake. It’s always been challenging for friends to navigate on bikes. Today, as Finn pulled two friends in his truck, he stopped at The Tricky Sidewalk Spot and said “My truck is stuck in the muck!” We ran inside to get the ever popular Duck in the Truck by Jez Alborough. We figured out how we could use our own environment to act out the story. And we were off!

Another group of girls decided the sandbox was muck!

We came inside and a group of friends created their own muck. We measured cornstarch and water, mucked it up, and added a variety of veggies, paper, salad dressing and paint to see if we could turn it into brown muck, just like in the book. We discussed the texture of the muck, the smell and of course…the changing color.

Lisa pulled out the mystery box and friends used their fingers as eyes to determine what object they were feeling.

Happy Day!
