Summer Solstice

Sun print Ian made with flowers and leaves.

Our summer solstice was hot and sunny.  A perfect day to track shadows, compare water temperatures in the shade & sun, and swim at the city pool.

Also this week, we performed the puppet show "Sun Power" (Hands-On Nature by Lingelbach & Purcell), modeled day & night with a globe and a flashlight, and made sun prints.
