Explore Spring!

Two children - one in a pink dress and the other in a green shirt and grey hat - reach nets into a pond. Green grass, mostly bare branches, and faded stems of taller plants indicate early spring.

Let’s get outdoors during school break! Will we find frogs, frogs, newly-returned birds?

Can we find a fungus, an animal, a new spring plant? After a time outside, we will look at some of our findings up close and look for birds at our feeders. A great way to celebrate Earth Day!
