We started the day watering the broccoli plants and talking about corn. Why corn? Why not? We talked about how it came from Mexico and now its grown and eaten all over the world. So we put a corn kernel in the window to sprout and made cornmeal cookies. Then we blew up balloons, played with them a long time, and some of us got around to drawing the world on them and making a globe.
Then we painted caterpillar puppets.
We started with several colors to choose from, but they all ended up with black caterpillars in the end. Kids like to mix paint. And put a lot of paint on. We have to let these dry and finish putting on their faces next week.
