Another week of hard work and hard play in nature kindergarten focused on prairie planting and the importance of trees.
We learned a bit about the non-native Queen Anne's Lace plant and worked in pulling some on our daily hikes.
We also replenished some of our restored prairie area with a variety of native plants, including a few of my personal favorites: spiderwort, butterflyweed, and ironweed. The students planted, watered, and watered some more.
Our explorations led to a variety of new discoveries for the kids including puffball mushrooms, the woolly bear caterillars, and the changing colors of the season.
We also took advantage of the beautiful weather to utilize some of our space for Writer's Workshop.
We also focused our attention to the needs of trees and why they play an important role in our lives. Our investigations led us to Find Your BFT. We had a great time and can't wait to pay our BFT's another visit.
