Today on the playground we moved one of the storage sheds, which exposed a large area of dirt that had been beneath the shed. Rachel, Jacob and Eli decided to explore the dirt and after only a few moments Jacob shouted, "A worm! A worm!" Rachel preceded to pick up the worm that Jacob was pointing at and before I knew it Eli was shouting," Look Jacob its a lizard!" The three children ran to me to show me the lizard and soon had a large crowed around them who we eager to see their finding. The lizard was small and slimy and eager to crawl on all our Tel Aviv friends. Once the excitement had died down the trio went into the house and played house with their new-found lizard friend, now named Madison. She was the mommy to the plastic caterpillars Jacob had found on the playground. At the end of playground time we said goodbye to Madison and put her in a safe place so she could get air. It was neat to find a new creature on the playground. I was pleased that the Tel Aviv class knew how to be gentle with a new critter. We are excited to go back into the woods soon and see if we can find anymore new fun critters!
I love a girl that doesn't mind touching icky gross things!
