It’s been a bit of a dreary week outside, but these Tugboats don’t let that keep them indoors!

Although the rain has kept us from using the playground, we have enjoyed using the time to explore our neighborhood.  Here we are on Tuesday taking a short walk around the block!  We found plenty of puddles to jump in and explore!  We also use these rainy days to check in our garden plot.  The Tugboats discovered that we don’t need to water our garden on days it rains because the sky waters the garden for us.  How kind and helpful!  We’ve also been harvesting from the garden.  Many of our friends love our home-grown tomatoes!

We also named two more of our aquatic friends today.  While Peter lobbied to name our red/orange fish Dexter (due to the part he may have played in the loss of one of our other fish), the class decided to name this little guy Fire Fish!

We also named the elusive crawfish:  Batman.  He spends so much time hiding in his cave, only emerging at nap time to see if Carissa plans to feed him again, so the kids thought Batman to be an appropriate moniker.  We got 6 new pencil fish last night as well!  If they survive their first few days, we’ll name them next week as well.  Come in and meet our class pets!
