Officially I was there to observe an ECE Practicum student but I got so involved with the children and their play and art. I ended up having a great time in conversation with our artists and scientists.
Thanks to my student for presenting a great activity and to the children for their boundless curiosity and creativity.
| Beautiful presentation of leaves for exploration |
| Matching green leaves to green paint chips takes careful observation |
| An unexpected moment of wonder when light refracted through the magnifying glass |
| Taking the work seriously and with deep concentration |
| One child chose to sort all the leaves on the art table |
| Beautiful art presentation |
| A carefully constructed art installation |
| This child made her own leaf....she cut it out herself |
| She really wanted me to see the lines of the leaf |
| Art and science collided for a wonderful, peaceful morning of discovery. |
