Today we danced.

We created with play dough.

And had a tea party!

Today we also gathered in the reading area to learn more about crinoids, or what Wee Frienders call “Indian beads.” These fossils are commonly found in our rock pile in the back; friends often search for and collect them. Thanks to Elizabeth’s mom, we received lots of information on crinoids, including pictures. We were excited to find out more about these fossils. Thank you Kristin!

We looked at the crinoid fossils from our own backyard as well as pictures of modern crinoids.

Who knew something so interesting was in our own backyard?!

Have a great day! –Jessica
