We have been busy the last few months with this and that and its time to get back into the swing of things with Nature Club :)
I would love to do a study of earth worms. It seems an appropriate time. We can also take a look at the cattails which the kids did a bit of study on during the winter. We can compare how things have changed. Please remember to bring a small sketchbook and colored pencils. My kids have them and I dont want anyone to feel left out. I bought ours at Meijers (about $5). Other great helpful tools are a magnifying glass and a bag to carry everything in if you have them.
Many things in our children's garden have been planted (and still being planted!)so things are starting to grow. I planted sunflowers & morning glories in the hopes that it will turn into a hut (still very early yet but starting to grow) Lets hope it turns out the way i want it to. That is a place the kids can walk under-hmmm we shall see :) I just finished the bird house gord tipi and am working on the green bean tunnel. As well we have some vegetables and lots of flowers and herbs. I kept an open spot where the kids can dig to their hearts content with some small garden tools. I am also working on setting up some other "play" areas within the garden. We will have time to work or play in the garden during nature club.
The next meeting will be after June 20th. Does anyone have a preferance?? -weekday/weekend? I would prefer weekday but am not opposed to weekend-it would have to be a Sunday afternoon though (we do farmers market on saturdays). Monday afternoons work great for me. OK I will post the date (time will be 1-2:30pm)in a few days after i hear from some of you-hopefully...
