After school, post-snack and homework, we ended up with a little impromptu science lesson. The climate outside was actually hospitable to human beings so we ran outside to enjoy it. We have been hearing the cicadas en masse for several weeks now and they leave their little exoskeletons hanging off of everything, but the girls have not seen them. Helen came wandering out with her binoculars and notebook ready to write her observations so I helped out a little by dropping a cicada skeleton on her book. Daisy said, "Ewwwww!" Helen got to work on her sentences. I printed out a bit of info and we learned why there are holes in the ground around my oak tree, why it's so loud out there, and that people in China eat them- Ewwwww!
