Building Bridges

Today we built our first bridge: a beam bridge!
It's been so much fun experimenting with a base, making it crash, re-enacting "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and listening to the trip-trap sound it makes as toys go across.
Next we will try a suspension bridge with pipe cleaners but we'll probably need some help from daddy!

Here's what we've been learning:

Theme: Bridges: Beam, Arch and Suspension

Chrysalis Is A Chrysalis

Our scrubby little caterpillar (Carson named him Chrysalis) actually turned into a chrysalis!
So amazing!
And just in the nick of time.
The night we noticed the change, I had planned on releasing him back into the backyard because I was tired on feeding him!
His chrysalis is really beautiful. It's this rich deep redish color but you can't really tell in the picture.

O Bountiful Harvest

Well...kind of bountiful.
Three beautiful radishes! First picks out of my garden this season!
Kind of spicy. Very crispy. Yum!
Can't wait to put these on a salad!
