Today, we took a drive to the bay. There's a lot to do and see there, plus many different catalysts for conversations providing opportunities for learning. After playing in the playground, we took a hike on the shoreline. That is where we found our first conversation catalyst...a dead heron on the beach. This sparked conversation about what we think may have caused the heron to die there. One theory was environmental. It was hard not to notice that the beach doesn't look or smell very clean. The water is stagnant and cloudy. Inwardly, I cringed everytime the kids dug their hands into the sand! Nonetheless, we had a really interesting walk and managed to pick up little "souvenirs" along the beach...like shell fragments and golf balls!
