Art and artists. We learned about different types of art and the artists who made that type famous. We made a mobile out of origami, a crazy Andy Warhol picture, a sculpture out of ground up soap, and we painted a picture of a famous meal we had with our family. Miss Marlene from “Imagine That” came and gave us art lessons. She said we were great artists!
This week the cicadas started hatching out and we spent some time watching them. We learned it is better to observe nature than to disturb it as it takes these bugs many years of living below ground so that they can come above ground for a few days to create more cicadas. We also saw a cicada killer. This is a wasp that eats cicadas for lunch. It is rough in the bug world.
One day on our way to the pool, a goose was hurt and he started following us. He must have wanted help because he followed the boys into the boy’s bathroom. We asked the man at the pool to help us and he called an animal rescue place who came and took him to a wildlife refuge for treatment. It is good to know we helped the goose and our counselors talked to us about how even a little thing like calling Goose 911 can make us a great nature lover!
