Hillside Findings

While out on the hillside, M yelled excitedly at something he found with a friend from Dogwood.

"Look! Look! It's little mushrooms!"

"They are brown and so small."

"Yeah, they are tiny! I don't know if there are anymore around here."

"See how tiny it is. I think they are poisonous!"

"Yeah, we can't eat these ones."

"I don't know how they got here."

"I think they just grew here."
"Someone planted them here!"

L soon became very interested in what the boys found. He examined the fungi with both his fingers and his eye.

"Look, there's the mushrooms!"

L dug around the surrounding area looking around for other small mushrooms to pick.

"I don't see anymore. I don't like them, they are yucky!"

M, W, & L continued their search around the hillside to find more mushrooms. They looked around in the grass and especially near trees. Although they were unsuccessful they were curious about how the mushrooms got there. How did the mushrooms appear? Are there other plants that pop up without anyone planting them?

"Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!" "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families. "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
