The Lost Dutchman - Mine

For more than 120 years, the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine has haunted the minds and souls of treasure seekers throughout the world. It is said to be the most famous lost mine of all time, and to this day it continues to draw prospectors to the Superstition Mountains of Arizona in search of its rich gold.
But in 1952, the infamous "Peralta" stone tablet maps were discovered in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains by a man on vacation with his family. These stone maps have been authenticated by more than one authority as being more than 100 years old. Treasure hunters & Gold Miners alike still search for the treasure to this day.

The Little Red Hen

The Little Red Hen

In the tale, The Little Red Hen finds a grain of wheat, and asks for help from the other farmyard animals to plant it. However, no animal will volunteer to help her.

At each further stage (harvest, threshing, milling the wheat into flour, and baking the flour into bread), the hen again asks for help from the other animals, but again she gets no assistance.

Finally, the hen has completed her task, and asks who will help her eat the bread. This time, all the previous non-participants eagerly volunteer. However, she declines their help, stating that no one aided her in the preparation work, and eats it with her chicks, leaving none for anyone else.

The moral of this story is that those who show no willingness to contribute to an end product do not deserve to enjoy the end product: "if any man will not work, neither let him eat."

Preparing our books for upcoming Holiday & Season.

 

As each Season approach's the Little ones are Happy to Listen &  learn all about what's to come. Especially when it comes to Story - Time. Along with the Literature class that Cody attends, he is also preparing his own story for the holiday. Sticker books that let the little ones use there imagination, as if they were the writers of that book. I will pre-read the page that they are working on to give them an idea of what the characters should be doing. But, low and behold I come back to peak and the characters have a life of there own. Then Aubrie & Cody proceed to tell me why the dog is on top of the cieling hiding from a monster instead of on the ground. It has been very eye opening to watch the creativity & book literally come to life.

Recent neurological research tends to confirm that mobility and dexterity in the fine motor muscles, especially in the hand, may stimulate cellular development in the brain, and so strengthen the physical foundation of thinking. The work done over the past seventy-five years in hundreds of Waldorf schools worldwide, in which first graders learn to knit before they learn to write or manipulate numbers, has also proven successful in this regard.

Photosynthesis
Plant can't go to the store to buy there own food,so how do they get it? Plants take water and carbon dioxide {a gas in the air}, and use sunlight to turn them into a kind of sugar called glucose. The plants use the glucose as food for energy and as building blocks for growing. They get help from something called chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color. The process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called "photosynthesis".It means "putting together with light".
