Another amazing week of nature kindergarten has come to a close. Hard to believe the year is so close to wrapping up.
We kept busy this week. We birded,
inspected our insect hotels,
checked n our greener-every-minute butterfly garden, woodchipped,
and heard from former nature kindergartners about animal research projects from first grade.
We also started a new round of outdoor stations. We read assorted books about topics like plants and insects,
deconstructed and reconstructed insect hotels,
worked on our sticks and stones alphabet,
searched for and found garlic mustard,
added entries to our nature notebook,
created dandelion art,
and swept for and inspected various insects
We also contused our woodchipping project, even using our woodchip bins a a creative umbrella replacement.
We also continued our nesting box checks. Enjoy the videos below.
We ended the week with a trip to a local favorite: the Homestead Animal Farm.
We held quail chicks,
made beanie babies,
played,
played some more,
played even more,
trekked through the forest and fields on a tractor,
and met many wonderful animal friends,
including Hummer, who successfully spits on me every year.
We also wrapped up with more outdoor stations,. We explored, shared, and played.
