What a busy, fun day today!

For outdoor learning, we did some math- sorting and graphing.

After examining our mittens, we decided that we could sort them by with fingers (gloves) and without fingers (mitts) and we put them in piles.

After some discussion about which pile had more, we counted each pile. Then we realized that if we lined them up we could see which one had more without even counting! Without naming it- we created a graph.

There was also some outdoor soup making.

On our way back inside we noticed that the wall was very warm - even though it was quite cold out.

Why?

"I think the sun is warming it up."

Black eyed peas!

The leaves have opened up quite nicely and so it was the right time to try a taste!

We had a good look at the sprouts before we ate. We noted the roots, the original pea and the new leaves.

We did some (volunteer only) mindful tasting:

"They are crunchy."

"They are kinda sweet."

"They are yucky."

"It was really yummy."

K is for kite.

We made some lovely paper kites.

We read Stone Soup. It is amazing what can happen when we work together with kind hearts.
