Each tree was unique—some had big, fluffy flowers, while others had delicate blossoms scattered across the branches. Together, they looked like a whole grove of springtime beauty!
It was the perfect way to welcome the new season and let our creativity blossom. 🌸
🌾 Discovering the Living Prairie Museum
Our class had an amazing day exploring the Living Prairie Museum! We learned so much about nature and the world right beneath our feet.
First, we dug into the soil to see what was hiding there. We discovered decomposers—tiny creatures that help break down old plants and turn them into rich, healthy soil. We even learned how composting uses the same process to help gardens grow.
Next, we explored the wild grasses of the prairie. Some were tall, some short, and each had its own way of surviving in the open wind and sunshine. Along the way, we talked about the needs of all living things—like food, water, air, and shelter—and how plants and animals find them in the prairie.
It was a day full of digging, discovering, and appreciating the amazing prairie ecosystem. We can’t wait for our next outdoor adventure!
💖 Goodbye, Baby Everly!
This week, we learned how plants send their seeds out into the world! We explored different ways seeds are dispersed—by wind, water, animals, and even by bursting open.
Then we became designers! Using the design process, we planned, built, and tested our own seed dispersal models. Some spun like helicopters, some floated, and others stuck to “animal fur” just like real seeds.
It was a fun mix of science, creativity, and problem-solving—and we discovered just how clever nature can be!
