Today two girls were playing near a tree. They both reached up to touch the branches, and one of them broke off a piece of the branch.
I called over to her "Hey, that tree is alive! How would you like it if someone came along and broke off your arm?!"
From which, commenced a fit of giggles.
I was driving home in my car and saw a family of Canadian Geese. Two adults and four ducklings. When I looked at the ducklings, I was overcome with emotion. To my surpise, I found myself empathising with the mama goose!
The children have been enjoying the beautiful weather. A while ago, they found a big log and rolled it in pairs across the entire stretch of the field. They problem solved around holes and back on track from a collision with the edge of the sand box. They experienced the physics of keeping the object in motion, and felt its weight by trying to lift it.
We planted some flowers to make a terrarium in our room. It will be in a large jar. I had asked the children to draw pictures to decide what we were going to do with the jar. All of the other ideas were to have fish in it. Since we move our cart around so much, it didn't really seem feasible. The poor fish would probably get sea sick. So, we'll wait for summer camp, and a semi-permanent room, to do that :)
