We did a science experiment to discover the necessary elements of life for plants. Each group planted a flower seed with one resource missing: water, light, and soil. The fourth group was our control - they just planted a plant.
Two funny things happened in relation to this experiment. First, during school DuckDuck began to cry a sad, hearty, leaky sort of sob. When I asked what was wrong he answered, "I'm just a little bit sad that our plant isn't going to grow." He was in the "no water" group. Second, after school I was giving the no soil and control plants each a little bit more water to last the weekend and I accidentally watered the "no water" cup. I quickly poured the water off the top before it seeped in, but DuckDuck may have his wish fulfilled after all.
In less exciting news, N was sent home during gym because while he was sitting in the corner for choking a student he found a chisel and chucked it at another student and hit her. I know that he isn't malicious, but it sincerely worries me that his first thought on finding something sharp and heavy is to throw it at another child.
