Jester Park with the Second Graders!

The second graders at Horizon had a field trip to Jester Park.

There were 5 stations we traveled to.  The first one was learning about bugs that are "decomposers".  We searched the woods for bugs and then talked about them as we caught them.


Elise's good buddy Paige.




The next station we learned about what the colors mean on bugs and how they give us information. 

Here the kiddos are hard at work designing their own bugs.




This station we went to the pond and everyone was given a net.  From the shore line we caught snails, tadpoles, minnows and all kind of bugs.




Elise liked catching things but was having no part of getting the bugs out of the slime into the bucket.




This station we had butterfly nets and we looked for dragonflies, butterflies, crickets, grasshoppers and more.
