The Hole in the Log

"I found something! I found something!"
L ran over carrying a round log with a giant hole in the middle. 
"Look it is a hole."

L picked it up and drew the attention from another friend in the Magnolia class.
"L I can see you in the hole!"
She bent down and peered through the space in the log. 


"I can see something! I can see you too!"
The two looked at each other through the hole and started giggling. 


A friend from Dogwood noticed the commotion and saw the hole and had a different idea on what to do with the log. 
"Look you can put it on a stick like this!"
She strung the log onto the stick like a bead on a string. The two of them laughed at how well it was staying on until the stick cracked and the log tumbled to the ground. 


By now M joined both S and L and saw what happened. 
"It looks like the moon!" he exclaimed encouragingly. 
"The moon is a circle."
"Not all the time. It sometimes looks like that too!"


The kids talked about how the log transformed from one shape to another by accident but never seemed too disturbed by the incident. They quickly moved on and continued to search around the forest for more exciting forest treasures.

Families

Today our conversation regarding our skin color continued, but evolved a little bit. Instead of just talking about our own skin, the kids started talking about their families.  "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...
