Noticing some more...

Jack was eager to get out this morning to notice some more. This morning, he wanted t switch his focus from leaves to bark...

We packed a 'noticing kit', and off we went.
Outdoors, we got up close to the bark we wanted to really notice. We took a photo, and then we described the bark carefully in words, while Dad took notes.

Finally, we did a rubbing to try to capture the texture of the bark. We'll try to share that a bit later -- even with the spare hour, we're tired.

We visited each of the trees that Dad and Jack checked out yesterday, and we'll add these bark rubbings and notes to the same book.

Perhaps we'll start a noticing calendar for each of them to notice when each of the trees has a new response to its environment.
