On Thursday, 200 yards of playground mulch was delivered at just the right time for the Dophins to watch from our Outdoor Classroom. Bunnies, ducks, big trucks; what could be better?
Obviously, 4 boys thought that completing their task was more important. They raked leaves from the large pecan tree that shades the greenhouse - all the better to collect the delicious nuts. Inside the Rainbow Room we use mochajetes to crack the shells and learn to pry out the nutmeat. Nothing beats taking something apart to learn how it is constructed, and we're becoming champs at the structure of the tiny seed from which strong pecan trees grow.
By the way, adults are invited to spread much this Saturday, 10/27. All 3 playgrounds have piles of mulch awaiting steel rakes and pitchforks. Come early, bring the children, and teach them to use tools and learn what volunteers can accomplish!
