Shirley told us that the compost bin in the cafeteria was full with good apples every day. We knew that this meant that food was being wasted and we wanted to do something about it. A group of children came up with possible solutions, then we all decided to have a table in the cafeteria with different fruits for the children to try. We would like to offer apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. We are going to have the survey this Thursday, 10/23. We'll let you know what we find.
We talked about birds and their feet with Barbara. Some birds have feet that help them swim, others to scratch, and still others to hunt. We looked at many books with pictures of birds, but best of all we made a bird foot out of clay. How we did all this and managed to keep our picture day clothes clean is one of those great mysteries. |
