Nature Class #1: Overview of Biomes...

We haven't taken classes at Latta Nature Center in a while, but it's nice to be back. Thanks to Christy F. and Ms. Gail we have 9 classes total that will take us into the summer for science. Yay!

Luke, Kendall, and Will were involved in the class while I managed Bo and Noah. They have a little coloring/puzzle/book center that they enjoyed...plus looking at the snakes and other animals.









I had to look up the word biome--"Scientists have developed the term Biome to describe areas on the earth with similar climate, plants, and animals."


The kids learned about the 8 different biomes today and what kinds of animals would live in each...

...and a few other things I'm sure while I was out of the room...

Then they had a 'fashion show' dressed in different things and the other kids had to guess which biome they would be from...

Luke was from the wetlands (??)..
Will the Ocean--he had a hard time walking in those flippers...

Kendall--the Mountian, or Polar Region...




Then they worked on their journals...


It's good to be back!
