Our Little Scientists Discovered the Pond

This month for Little Scientists, we decided to head to John Janzen Nature Center for an exploration day.  Before exploring the pond, we read the story “In the Small, Small Pond” by Denise Fleming to get an idea of what things we might find. 

After reading, we headed over to the pond where our scientists searched for four different things and then drew them on their scavenger hunt sheets. We saw so many neat things—dragonflies, caterpillars, insects, flowers, and even a snail! Our little scientists were all so interested in the pond.

After we were done exploring, we headed inside for a surprise—an animal encounter of the slithering kind!  Most of the children were so excited to see and be able to touch a snake. After they all got to meet the snake, we headed over to the Tegler Discovery Zone for some playtime. It was a perfect end to a fantastic morning!
