Our Web of Life

During the web of life activity, each kid was given a specific role. They got to see how changes in the environment affected the different parts of the web and how different species were all interconnected. They were able to learn about the balance of nature and how it can change. When we did the recycling vs garbage activity, we did boys vs girls and it got a good little competition going. In the end the girls pulled off the win.

Nature’s Soccer Ball

I would say that the goal of working with these girls was to help them connect more to nature. They were so excited to collect the different types of leaves and identify them. When doing the habitat assessment they wanted to see how many pinecones they were able to pick up (shown in the picture above). My favorite part of the day was when one of the girls said that the osage orange fruit was “nature’s soccer ball.”
