I wanted to share more plants discovered in the forest.

 

Miss Wood has an app to tell you the flower name based on a photo. I will have to download it for the ipod so we can learn the names of these beautiful plants.



Mon May 15 Bugs

The children have been exploring nature and finding bugs and insects. We are trying to find out he names of the cool creatures . The children are really enjoying the inquiry.

When we had our clean up at the pond Ms. McDowell and some students found this interesting larvae. She researched it and it appears that it is not a native creature from Ontario. The investigation continues to identify the name.
