Yea, so we talked about insects today and had a guest entomologist come in to answer any questions and identify what the kids found in their nets. The kids were all pretty interested in learning about how bugs can be helpful and by the end they were getting all sorts of excited about what they were learning.
Other activities that were part of our day today included an activity to help teach the kids the importance of recycling/composting, and showing the kids around some of the farm. It's a small group this week of about 14 kids and I think that is helping them to better pay attention and really grasp the information. One of my favorite parts about today was when the kids got to see the different crops. They were down on their hands and knees, eager to get a look at the big, yellow carrots. They were also in awe to see how broccoli grows, which is pictured below. It's so important for kids to know where food really comes from and just a simple activity like this helps them to understand.
After camp Satpreet and I went for a walk down to the beach before she headed back home. So happy she could come and stay for more than just a couple days.
For the remainder of the night I read and relaxed. Looking forward to camp and a little bit more time than usual on the farm tomorrow.
