in endless ways"
Worm Moon in March
This Collection’s art activity is inspired by worms’ ability to eat half of their weight in organic matter per day and transform it. What they excrete (poop!) is called castings and it is an amazing fertilizer for the soil. Now, let’s see how creative you can get in transforming your compost scraps!
Chickweed Love!
Fill jar 1/4 of the way with dried chickweed
Cover and Fill with equal parts
Apple Cider Vinegar and
Raw Local Honey

Flowers look like small white STARS!
Flowers have 5 petals (each with 2 lobes so looks like 10)
Oval shaped leaves that grow in an opposite pattern
*A single line of fine hairs runs down the stem of chickweed* (one of the best ways to truly identify that it is chickweed and not a look alike)
2-3 gloves of garlic
1/2 cup of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
2-3 cups of freshly picked young chickweed leaves
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
salt
handful of your nut of choice (sunflower seeds, pine nuts, walnuts, whatever)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
Blend it all together and Enjoy!
All About Birds!
What color birds do you see?
What different sounds do you hear?
Where do you see the birds?
What shapes have you seen?
What do you think each beak shape helps with?
Can all shapes and forms of beaks eat the same thing?
What shapes do you see in different birds wings?
What do you think each shape helps with and why are they shaped differently?
Do all birds have feathers?
What do birds use to make nests?
We used straw, string, feathers, and explored other objects birds may use to make a nest.

Positive Self Talk and Forgiveness
"When I make a mistake I can.."
"When I am trying something new I can.."
"When something feels too hard I can say.."
"Positive things I can say to myself are.."

-kicking a ball
-throwing and catching
-cutting with scissors
Mistakes are just opportunities to learn and find ways to do better next time.
Forgiving ourselves and others for making mistakes.
Some things they said they could say to themselves are:
- It's ok to make a mistake
- It's ok, you can try again
- Let's fix it!
- You're still learning.
-You can do better next time
Each kid picked a pom pom from the kindness jar. We went around in a circle and said something kind about another friend. At the end we put the pom poms back and added a huge handful to our jar.
We're getting close to a kindness party!
