We started sprouting beans & peas this week, and Tweeters is going to draw what they look like every week for 6 weeks. We already do this in the garden & when we sprout alfalfa seeds, but she'll be able to see the roots better & experience drawing them. Jam is along for the ride ;0)
We discovered SO much life in our 'One Small Square' of the lake! Mostly baby mosquitoes, but also snails, nymphs of every shape, and caddisflies!

| It grosses Papa J to have these things on the dinner table - but it's such a good place for observation & discussion! |
 |
| we took out the caddisfly & put him in his own little bowl - then we poked him out & took away his casing! We added glitter & tiny hearts for him to use in remaking his case, and he used the glitter! He was so lovely when we put him back in the lake this morning - all his friends will be admiring his gorgeous decorations! Or, saying, "Groovy man!" (quote from Tweeters) |
