There were so many memorable moments from these two lessons that it makes me smile just to think of them. Thursday morning we had visits from Jerry the Gerbil (Christopher was very gracious to share him with us) who the kids could not seem to pet enough. Gina explained all about him and the kids we so excited to be able to feel his whiskers and pet his soft fur.
Then Jacky showed us their new Beta fish named Nemo. Again the kids were enthralled and it was wonderful to see their little smiling faces. Thanks Jacky and Gina for sharing with us and being so patient with all the little hands so excited to touch the pets. The kids learned a lot about taking care of animals and being kind to nature. We made bird feeders out of pine cones and they were all a little grosed out by the feel of peanut butter on their hands and seeds sticking to them.
On Tuesday we learned about taking care of the Earth. They laughed histerically as we dropped "trash" on the floor and sang a song about littering. Elise smirked at me when I had them each draw a picture of nature and then told them to glue pieces of trash onto it like someone had littered. It was fun to watch how excited they were to clean up the field we walked to. We actually needed bigger bags which really surprised me! I hope you're all seeing these lessons internalized in their lives as I am. Tuesday afternoon we were at the park and Ethan ran up to me with trash in his hand, so excited to show me that someone had littered and he was picking it up. They really are all great kids!
