Good Afternoon! We enjoyed an array of indoor and outdoor activities today.

This morning we experimented with mixed media in the art center.  We tried using oil pastels to draw.  Then we painted over the drawings with water color for new and interesting effects.  A couple of kids ran with the new technique and made six or more paintings!

We planted tomato plants and carrot seeds in the garden today!  Several volunteers dug a deep hole for planting.  We learned that tomato plants can grow roots from their stem.  We learned that planting them deep would give them a healthy root system! Next we each took a tomato plant and carefully covered it with dirt.

Nesta made a special request to plant carrots. Since she had done so much work weeding the garden bed, she got to plant most of the seeds  She was happy to share the work work with Ryan and Paige who were also interested!

PREK2:  During group today we read “All the World”.  At the end of the story we thought of a place we would like to visit if we could pick anywhere in the world!  We came up with some great answers.  Several friends said they would choose “the beach”.  Asher had his own idea saying, “My Bed!”

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, whole wheat bread, fresh strawberries/clementines, and fresh pepper/cucumber/pepper.
