For a long time they looked at the river beneath them, saying nothing, and the river said nothing too, for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this summer afternoon.

Bee Tree
Dear friend down the street called. "Come and see what we found! The storm blew the top off a tree! Come and see!" We spent a lovely fifteen or twenty minutes watching bees. We collected acorns on the way home and were back with time to finish our school day.
That's wild. Those pictures are amazing but I still don't know if I could study bees in person - I think it's neat that the kids were interested and not afraid or panicked by them!
I love the pictures! That is cool. I like the goldfish math lesson also. We will have to try that as well. The kids are always begging for the colored goldfish and this would give me a good reason to get them.

That is really very cool.
I'm so glad you shared.
Eek! At least it was in an old tree instead of in the walls of someone's home. What a neat entomology lesson though!
