A Trip to Harrison Field

We went to visit Harrison Field and forest last Thursday. It was fun for everyone to see how high the sunflowers had grown. We had planted seeds in the spring. We noticed that the plants were just getting ready to blossom.

As we entered the forest, it was amazing to see how each first grader became connected to the natural world. Some kids began to build, some went to check on spots they remembered from last year. Some kids even created ways to use the forest as a playground! We discovered a leopard slug near a log. It was about the size of a hot dog!

Please try to set aside time to join us on Thursday mornings for ECO lessons this year. We would love to have as many adults as possible for these days. It is a special time for all of us, as we learn through nature!
