Volunteer Tea

The Volunteer Tea was held on the same day as our farm field trip this year.  In case you missed it, here is the song that was prepared by Mme Chloé and the video that was shown:

Making Paper

We've been studying different types of paper and their uses.  On Friday made our own paper!  It is a messy and fun project that takes a couple of days and many steps:

We shredded and ripped up recycled paper scraps to make them small enough. 

We added water and stirred, stirred, stirred.  The soaking paper had to be left overnight.

With our hands, we ripped up the paper even more before putting small amounts 

into the blender and pushing the button (with supervision) to make our pulp. 

We poured the pulp onto screens, sprinkled in our butterfly garden seeds, 

and squished all of the water out with a rolling pin. We had to set them out 

in the sun so that they would dry.
