Our 4th graders had an incredible week of learning and adventure at Outdoor School at Forest Glen! 🌳🐸

Each day brought a new opportunity to explore nature and discover something new!

🌿 Day 1: Students learned about the food chain before heading out on a 1.5-mile hike to identify native trees and listen for different bird calls.

🕷️ Day 2: Students explored the world of vertebrates and invertebrates, putting their knowledge to the test during a critter crawl as they searched for spiders, crickets, worms, and even a frog!

🐸 Day 3: Armed with nets, students explored the bottom of a pond and discovered the fascinating aquatic habitat of bullfrog tadpoles, minnows, dragonfly nymphs, and more!

🏡 Day 4: The adventure wrapped up with a visit to the Pioneer Homestead, a trail walk to a favorite creek, and a climb to the top of the Tower!

What a wonderful week of hands-on learning, exploration, and making memories in the great outdoors!

A BIG thank-you to the Vermilion County Conservation District for providing this amazing opportunity for our students!
