Sunshine

The Sunshine kids are known to get pretty corny!

As the local season of harvest comes to a close, our girls and boys enjoyed one last feast of corn on the cob. First, the children all took turns shucking the ears. In this, they learned about this vegetables anatomy, including the husk, the silk and the kernels. Later, our Sunshiners used ears to roller paint with autumnal colors. This was a bit messy, but super fun. Lastly, for morning snack, the students all chomped away on mini cobs of corn. Yum!

Starburst

The official Magic Garden vegetable and flower plots have been harvested and readied for autumn. The Starburst students, though, have made a rather keen observation: our sunflowers are still thriving remarkably! During trips to the playground, the girls and boys admire the towering golden blooms. This sparked yet another educational adventure. After snapping countless photos, each pupil took part in a painting workshop with Ms. Aislinn. The results are magnificent! Incorporating STEM exploration, the children dissected flower heads, examining the plants anatomy and counting the seeds. Take a peek at all the adventures!
