Today we spent the (beautiful) morning outside watching and listening to the birds just like John Audubon.  Then everyone got their notebook and pencil and set to drawing one of their choice.  I will never forget walking around to the front of the house to see Nora, sitting on a tree stump with her sketch pad, watching a little downy woodpecker peck for bugs in a log pile.  She was so intent and in her element.  As always not everyone is equally as moved by this topic (but that's how it is in school too right??).  But I think I have two out three.  Three out of four if you include me.
