tide pools
Nina's school went the tide pools at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve today. Walking on the tide pools felt like walking on another planet! The soft looking blobs on the upper right are harbor seals laying on the rocks!
Nina's pal, Morgan
A hill full of sun drenched, super sweet, wild strawberries. These two got quite a head start before the rest of the class joined in the forage.

Too bad it's a reserve, because there were huge mussels everywhere!
Did you know that sea anemone tentacles will stick to your hand? And when closed up, will spit out water if poked?

celebrating Holi, Festival of Colours
Holi, a Hindu festival, celebrates the time of the year when the fields are in full bloom and the people are expecting a good harvest. Naomi's school celebrated today by throwing colored powders (cornstarch with food safe dyes) on each other and their teachers!
I unfortunately couldn't be there, a fellow parent shared this photo with me.

Chinese time
I'm constantly being blown away by how much Chinese Naomi is learning at school. Here's a little sampler:
Part 1: Tang Dynasty Poem
Quiet Night Thoughts by Li Bai
The moonlight glistens in front of my bed. I thought it was the frost on the ground. I lift my gaze to view the shimmering moon, Then lower my head, and miss my homeland.
Part 2: Cloud Kitten
The white clouds in the sky looks like a big and cute cat. My cat likes to play and to play with her toys. She likes to eat milk. (Naomi did not know the character for "drink".)

Sunday project
The kids made their own doll houses this morning. Danny did help with the stairs on one, but the rest is all their own.
