🌾 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!
