Though the weather was unfavorable for some of our staff, it did not seem to phase most of our young students! Worms were present in numerous areas on the playground and the children took notice. They gathered around the worm, trying to resist the temptation of picking them up, and watched as it stretched and wiggled on the ground. "Smells like chicken! Yum yum!" Martin exclaimed after inhaling deeply. The children examined what the worm was doing and also made predictions as to where the worm might be headed on a day like today. They even constructed a house for him out of wooden circles.
Developing a keen appreciation for literacy in all its forms is a goal many teachers and schools strive to accomplish in their students. Lately, many children have taken an interest in writing and illustrating their own books. The CDLL staff was more than happy today to let a couple share their creations to large group at the end of the day. Zoey and Mitchell both had the chance to sit in the teachers chair and read their story for the POD A class!
