Nature classes

This week, both girls had their nature classes at the Nature Center.

Olivia's class was called "Chick a dee dee dee" and was about....well....the chickadee.





The kids learned how to look up birds in bird books, and different ways to identify a bird, such as it's color, region or location found, its song, etc.

They also went on a lil hike in search of some chickadees. They were out and about. They even saw some woodpeckers. Olivia brought her binoculars along to help her study the birds.

Olivia made some suet and black oil sunflower seed bird food to take home. It's in our freezer, we have yet to hang it up outside. (we need to get a suet feeder)


Georgia's class was called "Winter Wonder Land". They hiked in the woods and identified several objects. She told me that she correctly identified fungi and lichen when nobody else knew. Cool.

They also discussed the changes that a forest goes through in winter, and the change in animals' activities. She said there was a lot of deer droppings and tracks around. They hiked for an hour and a half!!

Both girls enjoyed their classes!
