One dark and windy morning this week, the children were able to see the lights on the Whirlydoodle windmill for the first time. During morning carpool the excitement was palpable. Children, who have since passed on to fourth grade, were also able to observe on the way to their classroom. It was a very exciting morning! Our ideas about energy are not dead and gone. They remain very alive in our windmill collection we have chosen to leave up.
I love that you kept this up and that a new class of kids will be able to develop their ideas about it in connection with but independent of what the fourth graders did!
