Do you know what a pulse is? Pulses are foods like beans, lentils, peas, and chickpeas. They are very healthy and they only need half as much water to grow as most other plants. Today our friend Sarah from Little Green Thumbs came and taught us all about pulses. We did some journaling about pulses and got to look at some different dried pulses. We saw kidney beans, pinto beans, split peas, green lentils, and chickpeas.
This afternoon we celebrated Winter Walk day by going for a walk around Whispering Woods. We walked all the way around the edge of the woods and then spent some time exploring for treasures. We talked about how important it is to get lots of time outside even in the winter. Spending time outside makes our bodies healthier, makes it easier for us to focus when we're trying to learn new things, and helps to keep us from getting gloomy during our long winter.
Today a notice is coming home about our Friendship Party that will be happening on Feb. 10.
Tomorrow is our library day. Please be sure to bring back your books.
Tomorrow our helper is: Levi
