Lower Elementary played a Water Cycle game and each child imagined being a drop of water moving through the world through nine "stations". The obvious stations were: Ocean, River, Lake, Glacier and Clouds, but less obvious were: Plants, Animals, Groundwater, and Soil. The children discovered that some water droplets move between the ocean and the clouds again and again. We considered what could happen to water when it falls from the sky: Evaporation, Soaking into the Ground, and Flowing into the Creek.
Skirting around the raindrops, the Children’s House students visited the garden. They saw that the lettuce is ripe for harvest! So are the chives, oregano and sage. We picked a banana pepper, a couple of green peppers, and a couple of tomatoes.
Next week we will harvest more lettuce and perhaps a radish. In two weeks, all the radishes should be ripe for harvest if the weather holds. Can't wait!
