"I Wonder..."

We call it the "Wonder Table". Sometimes a single child will go there to quietly study the ever-growing sweet potato vine. Other times a pair of new "best friends" will meet and notice details on the snakeskin together. Right after the goldfish is fed, a larger group is likely to gather.

"Look at all those roots! I wonder how long the vine will get?"..."I see where its eyes were. I wonder what kind of snake it was?"..."I wonder if Bubbles will eat all of the food, or save some for later?"

These are curious, intensely focused, and keenly observant young scientists. Our science table is truly a place for wonder.
