Summer shrooms 🍄

We said goodbye to the school year, whispered our gratitude to the leaves, and floated them down the creek. I am gonna miss these kiddos 🥰

All this rain = animal tracks in the mud

Back out and about after her molt 🩷🩷 check out her tiny spider helmet #jumpingspider

Creek critters found in our 2nd grade #forestschool class today!

Finishing up our bird study unit. Students designed these nests, eggs, and crafted detailed birds out of recycled materials.

Celebrating spring and teaching the firsties how to forage for edible plants with our field guides. #forestschool #foraging #outdoored

Happy Friday from Princess Rainbow Fangs 👑

Meet our class pet, named by my firsties Princess Rainbow Fangs. She is a regal jumping spider, and I’m kind of obsessed. Our read aloud this week Jumper taught us all about their very cool feet with microscopic claws that help them climb and hang upside down.

#forestschool first grade discovery this week. We ID’ed it as a glow worm 🔎

Rainy days are for jumping in muddy puddles ✅

Happy wormy Wednesday 🪱

Proof of a good Monday in our #outdoorclassroom #forestschool

Scenes from #forestschool I’m really learning to embrace this unpredictable winter weather, and meet each day with flexibility and curiosity.
