outdoor classroom


a huge part of the 3/4 curriculum is called outdoor classroom...you have seen some of the pictures of the river where we were collecting macroinvertebres...we are studying the northern woods this year...this includes learning about everything from the leaves on the trees to the decomposers and the animals that live in the forest...the past 2 days we have been collecting leaves and using dichotomous keys to identify which tree they came from...here are some pictures of the area that we were in...
i am learning so much about nature...i love it...vermont is so amazing...it truly is a magical place...i don't know how else to describe it?
if you haven't been here you need to visit...if you have been here then come back soon...
