I has been a joy to behold as the children's natural curiosity has unfolded as they have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the world of bugs. Sasha and I have been so lucky to be a part the process the and spirt of investigation, as the children have taken on the role of a scientist, wondering about the insects and bugs!
Everyone is so comfortable handing and approaching the insects we find outside on the playground or on our nature walks in the woods! The way the children have dug into the worm farm remind us of archaeologists! They place the worms on their wrists like bracelets, on top of their hands and on their shoulders!
Their comfort level with insect and bug has carried over to other other living creatures. Yesterday Micah G brought his dog Rusty to school for a visit. As the children who don't have animals at home or contact with animals in general, where so open and willing to engage with Rusty! They pet his belly, feed him treats, and played catch with Rusty!
Micah, Rusty is one special guy! Tell Rusty he can come back and visit anytime.
What a wonderful way to nurture their curiosity and creative thinking. Can't wait to see what's next!
ReplyDeleteRusty enjoyed his visit too!!
