POD A: Shucking Corn and Weaving

This week the children have been peeling the corn, which we call 'shucking', that has come from our Rainbow Garden, as well as some that has been purchased at a local market. The children discovered that the outside of the corn is called the 'husk' and the soft covering is called the 'silk'. When shucking the corn the children saved the husks and used then used them to weave throughout the gate outside. Some of the children weaved the husks while others were finding new ways to use it, such as tying it in knots and twisting it throughout the gate. We will continue to explore corn this week. -Ms. Buckley
