At the beginning of the week, Nona brought us some big pink blossoms. Soon, everyone wanted to have a look.
Some friends wondered if the little specs inside were ”tiny germs,” and we decided to get some magnifying glasses to get a closer peek.
Since the flower was sitting at our “Message Center” (a place where paper and writing utensils are always available), children wanted to draw there, and helped Zoe pick pastels that matched the flower — some greens, pinks, and brown.
The flower also gave us an opportunity for children to notice changes. After a couple days, we noticed the flower wilting. “It’s broken?” said Luca O-R. “I think it’s dying,” supposed Celia. The teachers printed a photo of the beginning of the week so we could compare the flowers now to how they looked before.
Here are some photos from the flower exploration, as well as some additional moments of our week!
