Fire Fly

Inspired by nature around us, the children often bring in items to show their friends. Great discussions have emerged and I am so delighted that the children are so keen with their observation. Certainly, there is no evidence of "nature deficit" with this group of children!

One morning, a firefly arrived via little hands, a Tim Hortin's cup, and an eager smile. A box was sacrificed for some serious learning...there have been a lot of boxes stacked up in the room for packing, in anticipation of the renovations that will happen over the summer.

 

The fire fly was placed in a dark environment - the box.

 

We shared a story.

 

 

We took quick peeks at the fire fly to see if it would glow.

 

 

And our ticket out the door consisted of a Venn diagram comparing fire flies to butterflies.

 

 

(We did end up adding that fire flies glow, and butterflies do not glow)

 

 

I hope that the children continue to use their skills in observation over the summer, and make connections to world, to books and to their own experiences.

 

And as always, thank you for supporting our learning over the year. It has been tremendous journey, and I am grateful for all that you have done as a parent community.

 

Thank you for visiting our atelier!
