Trees, Gratitude, Stone Soup and MORE!
/The Whales have been incredibly busy this week, answering important questions like “How do trees make babies?”, “How do trees drink?”, “Can trees grow thinner?” and “How do trees stand up?” The Whales completed some deep observation and exploration to find the answers to all those questions and more!
We also spent time talking about gratitude. We watched a puppet show with Jonny and Nicole and read a book about how gratitude is one of our greatest superpowers. It can make a bad day better, and it’s a sure-fire way to pull us out of the mud! We spent time meditating on the things we are thankful for and sharing gratitude with others.
On Friday we worked hard together, chopping vegetables and cheese for our Stone Soup feast! It was wonderful to be able to share a meal with ALL of our ELC friends!
We ended our (already-amazing!) day on Friday with an engineering project led by Whale parent Mr. Nate. The Whales had to work together to create a structure that was strong and efficient, just like the trunk and branches of a tree.
