Today we visited the Prairie area and pond area of the Outdoor Classroom here at Southwest High School. Students discovered wildflowers, edible wild plums, wood sorrel, black berries & mulberries. Many students caught wildlife and brought them back to the classroom and prepared habitats. Lastly, students created a Chinese hacky-sac and a small wildflower bouquet for their parents. Here's what kids had to say about today's adventures:
What was fun about today? "Going outside and catching stuff." "It was fun making the hacky sacs and kicking them up into the air." "Looking at a pupa of a meal worm, tree frog, wasp, grasshopper through a microscope." "Making prints with berries and eating them." "Feeding the Bass."
Have a great day and make some comments...we will read them in the morning.

The first day of Outdoor Explorers was awesome! Personally I loved it and I'm sure all of our kids did too. They all found something that they liked doing outside. Helping these kids is a blast and I'm excited to see what the kids are going to do with the rest of their week!
