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.

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
