I hope this post finds you warm and well. It was a chilly May day today, however the rain is quite welcome. The ditch water we were measuring at the beginning of the month seeped into the dry ground days ago and the grass has been begging for a drink. I think the buds will be happy as well.
Things at our Little Green Schoolhouse have been exciting both indoors and out. We have begun our spring inquiry projects that investigate water, wind, soil, and plants. Some of these projects include: raising frogs that Jack brought in, studying the lifecycle of a mosquito (we are raising mosquitos too!), plant and soil experiments, and a flower study. For now, I offer you a glimpse into the last couple of weeks and the promise of more pictures and stories soon.

Thank you for washing our muddy clothes, drying out our boots, and checking us for wood-ticks. These are the days that will fill us with joy and keep our eyes open to the wonderful world we are apart of.
