Those Daffodils!

     We enjoy going outside to investigate our playground.  There's so much to notice!  For more than two weeks, we've watched the daffodils bloom and grow.  At first, there were only one or two.  Then we waited . . .
     We went out again, and again, in small groups.  It was a fun, learning adventure!
     Annika calls out, "I got a seed!"  Annabelle told us, "They hibernate!"  Yannai excitedly calls out, "Look Morah Susan, look!  One is coming out!"  Ezra took a good peek at the greenery and then said, "Some are not in there!"  We waited a few days and then returned.

At first, there was only one or two flowers.  We had to be patient!

     We looked at other greenery, as well.  Becker took a good look at the figs.  "The buds are here!" he told us.
     Yannai went back to get another look at the daffodils:  "Yeah, it's coming out, and another one!"                    Annabelle told us, "I noticed that!  I actually noticed that!"
     Anslee also took a second look at the daffodils, and then she proudly told us, "I touched one!"
    Yinon said, "Daffodils!  I like them!"

     Evan told us, "There's some next to this one."
     Natalie noticed that, "A daffodil is opening up!"  Lily found a small daffodil, "There's a little one growing!"
     Later, Maddy reminded us, "Don't squeeze it!"  Caleb saw that the daffodils were growing not only on the playground, but also behind the gate.  Sammy told us, "The ones that didn't start to grow are still green!"

      We took the daffodils inside our room, so we could enjoy them both inside and outside.  Then we created our observational drawings by sketching with black-ink pens.

(Checking out the figs . . .)

We notice that the rosemary is always there, warm weather or cold.  Why is that?  We have something to think about . . .

We made simple bird feeders with pipe cleaners and Cheerios.  Morah Susan hangs her up.  Caleb also hung one up.  Some of us took the bird feeders home, ready for the birds near our houses to enjoy.

We cut a few more daffodils to enjoy at our Shabbat table.  Some of us thought the daffodils smelled like watermelon, or strawberries.  What do you think?  Stop by, and smell for yourself!

We don't like to waste anything.  The Morahs took home the beautiful cut daffodils that we had enjoyed at our Kitah Gimmel table.  (Pictured:  the daffodils on Morah Susan's Shabbat table.)

Loving the Daffodils,
Morah Susan, Morah India and Kitah Gimmel
