Although there's been a whole lot of rain falling, we are still shining! Our scientists have been hard at work investigating soil and testing out the sand, clay and humus components with a ball, smear and settling test. This week we will put what we've learned to the test and analyze a MYSTERY soil to decide what it is made of. We have also been observing our containers with and without worms and things are getting pretty interesting. We are happy to report that our worms are alive and active and things are happening and changing in the worm containers and things are getting pretty disgusting in the containers without worms. Just ask your child for an update!
What do you think is more catastrophic, being burried at the bottom of the ocean or burried in a garbage landfill? Seems pretty grim, but in the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Edward found himself experiencing both. All three second grade classes are reading the book. We did a mash-up of classes and stated our opinion about which is worse. We heard different ideas and some of us were even persuaded by other points of view that we changed our opinion.
When life gives you a rainy day, jump in puddles. We were fortunate to get outside on a rainy day before the small pond on the playground was drained. Oh to be a kid again, next time I'll have to wear my rain boots and join-in on simply enjoying life! There's nothing like a child's laugh and smile!
