Is that the moon?...
Our observations about children's growing awareness of their surroundings continues to impress us. Like, they enjoy stepping on fall leaves to hear the crunch sound beneath their feet. This morning, one child, in particular, gazed up at the sky and pointed out the moon during the daytime. His curiosity sparked a conversation about daylight, clouds, and the hot sun. This moment of wonder opened up a chance for us to talk about the sky and nature’s mysteries. I wonder what made him think it was the moon? Or maybe the moon in place of the sun? Or was he curious to see both the sun and the moon together?
