It was great to see his classroom was big and bright and organized and inspiring. He had some neat-o math graphics up on the white board that I should have taken a photo of. Instead, I took a(n out of focus) photo of these crazy flowers on the way into the building. They most certainly have to be a daffodil varietal. Pretty cool! They look like yellow fireworks!
Speaking of out-of-focus plant photos, we have lift off! I mean life! Here's the first greenery from the seeds we planted a few days back. Can you picture the future tomato plant?
DESIGNER BAG: Last week we stopped at a thrift store to drop off a bag of clothing. Naturally, we also left with a (smaller, at least) bag. One of our scores was a silver vinyl bag I snatched for $3. "You can do something with this," I told Annabelle.
The something she did was (at my exhortation) convert it into a custom Queen (the band) bag.
One side now sports a silhouette of Freddie Mercury. ...
They look so great!
SENSORY: We continue to learn about bees before we take possession of thousands of them in our hive in the not-too-distant future.
Using the PerfectBee curriculum, we learned that bees possess a delicate sense of touch throughout their body, and that their antennae are especially receptive. This is important, because in the darkness of the inside of their hives, senses other than sight are important, and touch is essential.
This cool video below shows how bees keep their sensory antennae clean, so that they're ready to be receptors.
We also learned about the bees' waggle 'dance.' By their movement, they communicate important information quickly and efficiently, be it about their next meal or next home. Amazing.
Wow and wow
