Good Afternoon!

This morning a large group of friends decided to work on their bean journals and observe the growth of their beans.  Several of us noticed stems and leaves starting to grow.  One friend astutely observed that his bean had faint purple lines on the seed coat and drew them in his journal.  Another friend decided he wanted to decorate the outside of his journal with bean pictures and the whole group followed suit with interesting drawings.  Daniel made an unusual connection.  When I asked him about his drawing of a foot ball on his bean journal he explained that a football looks like a bean and that was why he drew it there.  It was a good argument for football art on the cover of a bean journal!

We were thrilled to spend lots of time outdoors today!  We worked on an outdoor collaborative water color painting which the Diltz sisters did the majority of work on today.  They spent the majority of our outside time covering this painting with “dots” “worms” and “trees”.

There was great interest in rolly-polly pill bug collecting at Wee Friends today!  Many older friends taught  younger friends where the best places to look for pill bugs were.  William happened to be particularly  good at finding pill bugs and was very generous sharing some of his with younger friends who where struggling to find the illusive insects themselves.  Diligent pill bug collectors  enjoyed building habitats for them in  jars.  Others used stones and leaves to create habitats in the rock garden area and released the pill bugs in new homes.
