The Great Outdoors and More

This week brought "May the fourth [be with you]" for Star Wars Fans, a Cinco de Mayo dance party with great music courtesy of Mr. White, and several opportunities to learn in nature.  Below you can see us spotting a nest under the eaves of the building on our second bird walk with Julie from Americorps.  We also spotted a Turkey Vulture and laid down pretending to be dead in the hopes of luring it closer! (A little morbid but we were being dedicated birders). In connection with our Farm to School lesson about beans- we made bean dip with Miss Meg and also planted some peas of our own in the courtyard.  And of course there's always work to be done collecting and arranging natural materials for the fairies in among the newly blossomed tulips and daffodils.

And when you plant peas, you sometimes find other special things like a snail!
