Tot’s Kinder class went to the beautiful DBG, and I decided to join as a chaperone. I love seeing what she is learning, and also I love to see how Tatum soaks it in.
I took her friend Selah in my car, and both of them were so silly in the back seat. I think it was fun for Tatum to have a buddy to talk to back there.
We headed in and our field guide, Scott, assembled the kids to go over some of the “listening well” rules.
They all got a magnifying glass to look closely for any critter or plant to analyze. He went over the 5 senses, and thank goodness, we didn’t cover the “taste” sense. We don’t need to be sampling cactus flowers or rosemary bushes. Maybe put it on a pizza, and we’ll taste away!
At one point, they had to find something to share with each other. Tatum found little beans on the ground and discussed this with her classmates. Fascinating!
Charlotte and Tatum had a hug moment in front of this beautiful tree from South Africa.
On the way out we passed these cacti growing on the ground. I never realized the many kinds there are!
The old man cactus. Fuzzy as all get out.
And this cactus is growing out of another. Pretty amazing.
The flowers are delicious for our cactus friends.
Thank you Mr. Scott for your help!
We had a great time.
