The Road Less Traveled
• Nov. 1, 2007 - Nature study
Yay! My boys are finally interested in studying something other than bugs for science. OK, I confess, I steered them away from it. It's not that I have a problem with my children wanting to have pet slugs- I'm just a little tired of the subject. Leave it to me to get bored with my kids' lesson plans before they do! Of course, the two year old is not being formally educated yet. I say "kids' lesson plans" because he insists on being involved with just about everything his big brother does (so, they "share" lesson plans). It is so cute! Well, it is when the toddler is not hitting climbing on throwing toys at distracting his idol while he is trying (reluctant though he may be) to complete his work.
Anyway, they are into plants now. It seems a little bit strange to me to be planting seeds in October, but the kids are interested. We put corn, carrot and radish seeds in ziploc baggies with wet paper towels. They are hanging by the kitchen windows. And- they are still intact! I was concerned when we began this project, that Babyzilla would see them as fodder for his destructive tendencies. However, he has been great about it! So far, I have not had to thwart a single attempt at their little veggie lives. |
