So Many Seeds

The lemon survived another day in the Pine room. After peeling it yesterday, the kids wanted to really tear into it and find ALL of the seeds. After a minor mishap of some juice getting into M's eye, we quickly found a solution! Safety glasses! It was pretty cute to see all of the kids wearing small safety glasses as they worked. 


"This lemon has SO many seeds. I just don't know why it has so many."


"The seeds are in here!"


"It's kind of hard to get them out. There are so many and it will probably take a long time to get them all out. I think there's like 1 billion!"




M continued to find seeds, one after another. 
"I can't believe there are still seeds! I have to squeeze the lemon to get the all the juice and the seeds out! I think there are one thousand seeds in here!"



Finally, the kids were convinced there were absolutely no more seeds in the lemon they peeled open yesterday. As they worked they talked about several different possibilities they could do with the lemon. 
"Maybe we can get the juice from all the lemons and make lemonade!"
"We can make new lemons!"
"Yeah, we should plant the seeds and make more lemons!"
"We have to wait until it's warm to plant them though."
"Maybe we can plant them here at school!"
"There are so many seeds, I don't know if we can plant them all!"

Unfortunately they were unable to count how many seeds there were because we simply ran out of time. Instead everyone took guesses on how many seeds there were in hopes to count them at school on Tuesday.

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!
