Escargot Anyone?

Today was snail day for Parker's first grade class. They got to find a snail, build a playground for it (with salt filled playdough--I should know, my double batch had a whole cup of it), run tests on it (some were bubbling afterwards), and observe their new pets (that by the way, pee fluorescent yellow liquid.)


Thank goodness I am surrounded by boys in my house, because I had no problem helping the girls pick their snails up when they would try to escape from the cups.

At recess, Parker was chosen to help paint a mural for his school on the ball wall.



And his basil that he planted for Earth Day last week started to sprout.
