“I’ve seen that in my house”

I got the privilege to work with some of the second graders at Lourdes Academy. My group and myself showed our kids different bugs and had them observe all kinds of different features. These kids got to observe big moths, butterflies, spiders, grasshoppers, and way more. After observing the bugs we had the kids cut out leaves and right their pledge to the planet. We asked them how can you help nature or what can you do to save our ecosystems. Then we had them hang the leaves up on a tree to make our own little pledge to the planet tree. Overall it was great experience and the kids were very respectful and fun.

“Bees are really good, because they hibernate honey which we eat”

I got to work with 3rd graders from Read Elementary. We got to spend a few hours together outside looking at pollinators and plants. My partner and I got to ask our 3rd graders questions about nature and how to help our environment get healthier. I was given many good answers from the students and I even learned a new thing from one of them. It was a great experience to get to work with these two for the few hours I got to.
