"Well, that's just my point. Nobody bothers to look." These were some of Professor Savant's words to the children today in their first lesson with him.
"Think of being as small as an ant down there. Look at it as if you were indeed a beetle or a worm. Wouldn't the Earth be different to you then? Wouldn't it be a whole new countryside? The lumps of clay would be mountains and the blades of grass would be a forest."
Today, I want you to look as the professor encouraged Ben, Tom and Lindy to look at the world today in chapter 4. Look up. Look down. Look at the world as you have never looked at it before.
Discussion points:
What did you notice? Describe the wondrous, surprising, amazing things that you saw. Think of the professor, and especially Lindy as you write.

Hey Josh here,
I noticed the smuges on the door, the dust on the window sill, how much my cat sheds (tehe), how good this cupcake is (tehe), the loose strings on the rug, the color on the plant, and how many lights are on the cabinites. thanks for putting this up, it really lights up my perspective.

Dear Mrs. Simonds,
My dad let me borrow his glasses, to look around.
One thing I noticed is that my computer screen is made out of a bunch of tiny dots. It is really cool, it is like a bunch of tiny dots that make the screen/picture. I also looked outside the window of my room. The rooftops were covered with moss, stick, and few pieces of bark. My play set looked awesome with all the colors and different parts. I relised that above looks so small compared to next to that object.

I see the carving in the mold of my penguin. I see my cats fur on the counter, and him on the dish washer (lol). I see the indivual lego outlines in lego-bro. I notice the heiroglyphs in my ninja-bros. I notice the veins and particles on a plant leave. I SEE SO MANY BRO THINGS MAN!

I noticed that our printer had a bunch of dust on top of it. Also there were little smudges on top of it as if someone ran there fingers across it.
I also noticed that my wood kitchen table had a bunch of different trees made out of it to make different shades of color.
Another thing I noticed was that in the tea that my mom is drinking is that in the tea bags there is a bunch of different spices.
Something else I noticed was that the chair I am sitting in was not knitted with tiny yarn that all the different threads got waved.
Something else that really caught my eye was the paper in front of me that I ripped had little pieces of paper coming out of the ends and I sort of looked like thread.

Hi Mrs.Simonds
I noticed that my dads computer keys glow white when the computer is on and when it is off it doesn't glow. I noticed that the bark on the birch trees is peeling of and where it peels off it kind of looks like the letter K. I noticed that my beach ball from the summer is in the woods.
That is what I saw.

Hello there Mrs. Simonds,
I just went outsidde to try looking and listening, may I just say that it was not easy. At first when I looked up I saw right in the middle of two other pine trees. A pine trees that the sun was gleaming on just right it looked like its pine needles were a bueatiful golden color. Like the color of fresh baked bread.
It is truely amazing what you can see if you would just look. I so very much do agree with Professer Savant. I also love Lindy's look on everything, life, Whangdoodleland, and most importantly all creation!!!

Mrs,Simonds,
I see snow that looks like vanilla ice cream. I see my older brother in his pajamas. I see trees that look like groups of broccoli. I see houses in the distance that loo like small gingerbread house!I also see my hamster that is running around like there's no tomorrow! I see loads of things! Grace. :D
Hi Mrs. Simonds,
When I look at the world like Professor, it is very happy in some places and sad in others. It is peaceful sometimes and crazy sunny. I see the blue sky even though it is grey sometimes. My mother's fleece looks like giant cotton balls if I were an ant. If I were a fish in our tank I would think that seaweed is a long stretchy alien that is about to attack me. I also think the world looks very colorful.

Hi Mrs Simonds
I saw orange/red flames in my warm fireplace. It is weird how the blue flames are the hottest part of a fire. I also saw different colors of shirts in the stands of a basket all game that I was watching on Tv. the last thing That I saw was the tiny threads all weaved into one cozy blanket in my living room.

Hello Mrs. Simonds,
I notice the flower bulbs on the table, the small scratches on the wood floor, how worn the old carpet is. I also see the drips of water on the bushes, and the black rabbit fur on my pants.

Dear Mrs. Simonds,
Today I noticed that my computer screen is made out of billions and billions of small dots. Then I noticed when I close my eyes I can see little colored dots bouncing around. I also noticed that my hand is made out of little strips of skin some how glued together. I see a big tree in the distance from my window which is started to sprout apples. I can also see a owl in the distance too. There are so many things to see in the world.

To WILL MACDONALD,
It is intresting how you think a hand looks like glued peices of skin. The tiny dots mixed together reminded me of George Saurat in Unity Class. Odd to see an owl at when you looked out. You lieing Bro? Cool items your eyes made out from inside your skull!
Paul
Dear Lucy,
That was a really good idea that you borrow your dads glasses to look around. After you wrote that you saw that your computer screen was made out of little dots, I looked closer at my computer screen and noticed that too.
That is also a good idea to look at rooftops outside your window.
I borrowed my dad's reading glasses too and look around. It was a little bit blurry but it was really cool. Every thing look so different.

Dear Mrs. Simonds,
When I got home, I noticed my graveyard behind my house, my field, stinkbugs in the windows, the holes where the floor meets the tile (maybe that's where the ants are coming from), a spiderweb under my dad's desk, and my violin. I notice that when you look up close on things you notice the things that you had never noticed before.

I noticed that the trees are covered in snow and it looks puffy like a pillow and it looks like the clouds in the sky.

Dear Mrs. Simonds and Paul,
I do not really get what you mean by "I see the carvings in the mold of my penguins". My dog sheds too. She sheds all over the counter and allover the floor. I thought it was pretty funny when you said "and my cats on the dish washer". I never really noticed the carvings in legos. I also noticed the particles and veins on plants. I also see bro things too!

Will MacDonald
