Last week (sorry I'm late with my post) we met inside and began reading a fascinating book from our
library,
One Well The Story of Water on Earth. I learned new things about water--I guess I had never really thought too much about the cycle of water. Very informative book!
Then outside for a fun project. We made a scarecrow (or rather, Mrs. Scarecrow). We used a frame I had made out of scrap wood, then stuffed her with plastic grocery bags filled with newspaper, made her face out of a water jug and added a cute straw hat. The children were pleased with the results. We're hoping it helps keep the birds away from our tomatoes. Of course, our sunflowers just beg them to come!

We love our scarecrow!

| Okay, Mrs. Scarecrow, keep the birds out! |
Our crops are bearing fruit--lots of tomatoes on the vines.
