Mrs. Mueller’s Nature Based Kindergarten was fortunate to have two local residents, Jim and Sonja Hruska, lead the class in a tour of the Triton Nature Center. They taught the students to use their 5 senses to explore the prairie and the seeds.
Students learned the various ways seeds travel; through air, water, gravity, explosion and even as a “Hitchhiker” on animals or people. Many of the Kindergarteners were able to recall a time when seeds had stuck to their socks and shoes!
A few highlights of the event were discovering a Goldenrod gall with a worm inside, squishing walnuts, and finding turkey feet seeds.
Jim and Sonia are looking forward to joining Mrs. Mueller’s class this winter to look at animal tracks in the snow.
