First day back, we greeted the three children B, C and E as they came in through the door by 9 am they were settle at the table coloring. C loved the color black for butterflies, E observes everyone coloring before marking up their paper with lots of colors. B was watching Rupinder drawing colorful flowers giving it a spring vibe. we cleaned up and had a our morning snack.
“Soon after it was time to go outside.”
They knew what they wanted, they ran to the table waiting to playing and blow lots of bubbles. They were making big, small, one to many, sometimes no bubbles. It was fun seeing them swing their arms, taking big breaths and seeing their reaction when the outcome of their bubbles.
After playing with bubbles they introduce me to their Mama bird that laid eggs in a nest in their play yard. We found out its called a “Flycatcher” bird, they eat flies and this bird was nice to allow us observe her and her babies grow. I was amazed how much the children are surrounded by the circle of life. They had an active bird’s nest- that allows them to look at their observe their growth, and they raise Coho fish from egg to be released during the smolts gathering where everyone is invited to walk among the smolts
It was interesting day with the children we got to know each other, be comfortable and enjoyed our surrounds, chasing bubbles to watching them go over the fence. bird watching from counting 5 eggs in the nest. Wonderful start to practicum!
