童真是世界上最美的风景
作者：Katherine | 主播：孟飞Phoenix
During Plant Week, 
my Kindergarten students 
learn all about the importance 
of plants in our lives, 
the different kinds ofplants in our area, 
and (their favorite) how plants grow. 
时值种植周
幼儿园的学生们学习了植物
在我们生活中的重要性
我们所生活的区域生长的各种植物
他们最感兴趣的部分便是
植物是如何生长的

Each student got
their very own little terra cotta planter 
and were shown how to fill them 
with dirt, plant seeds, and water them.
每个学生都发有一个小的陶土种植盆
用来教他们装土，播种，浇水

So we did our activity in the classroom,
they filled them up with dirt, 
they had so much putting the seeds in, 
and the next step was to take them
just outside of classroom 
and water each of them 
before we went to recess.
我们在教室里进行了一项活动
他们把自己的小盆里放满土，然后播种
接下来我们就要出教室
来逐个盆浇水然后再休息

One student in particular, 
bless his heart,
was still a little behind on his motor skills, 
and pretty much flooded his planter 
when trying to water it.
其中有个学生
劳作技能相比其他同学稍显逊色
因为他浇水过量
他暗暗地祈祷自己的植物能正常的发芽

His classmates snickered, of course, 
which really upset him, 
and I had to intervene and assure him 
that he would be able to redo his flower pot 
when we came backfrom recess. 
当然，其他同学都偷偷嘲笑他
这让他很难过
我不得不介入并安慰了他
然后向他保证休息时间过后
让他重新播种

Well, little did we all know 
that his pot was going to 
have anunexpected sprout. 
然而，我们都不知道
他的花盆出乎意料的“发芽”了

Of course, being late spring in Mississippi, 
it was an especially hot afternoon. 
在晚春的密西西比州
天气愈发的燥热起来

So as we were approaching 
our door from recess, 
which takes us right past their flower pots, 
I hear this thrilled
"Miss Welch, Miss Welch!! 
Look what's coming out of my flower pot!!"...
我们休息以后走到教室门边，
那里正好放着之前播种的花盆，
我听到一阵喊叫：
“韦尔奇老师，韦尔奇老师！
快看！我的花盆里有什么！”

Being that it had only been about an hour
since we planted the seeds,
I had NO idea what I was about to see. 
那是我们一个小时前才种下的种子
我完全想象不出来里有什么好看的

But there it was, 
a goofy frog head poking out of 
the 70% cool water~30% dirt 
mixture of his flower pot.
但是确实有值得一看的东西
只见从7:3水土混合的花盆里
透出一只蠢萌的青蛙头

Somehow that frog found his way 
into his flower pot to 
cool off on that hot day, 
and his flower pot, 
which initially was the butt 
of his classmates jokes, 
was now main attraction 
for the rest of the day.
天气这么热那只青蛙也许
只是想在他的花盆里凉快一下
之前还被同学们嘲笑的花盆
现在（因为那只青蛙）成了瞩目的焦点

The frog was gone the next day, 
but my student 
didn't want to redo his flower pot... 
he did, however, 
put fresh water in it everyday
"just in case the froggy 
wanted to come back and cool off"
Precious, such a sweetheart
第二天青蛙不见了
那个学生却没有重新播种
而且他还每天放新鲜的水
想着小呱呱可能还会想回来乘凉
真是个少见又贴心的孩子呢
