Field trip!

Today we took the transit bus to visit the Living Prairie Museum. Our program was called "The Scoop on Poop" and we learned interesting and funny facts about animal's poop! We got to take a walk in the endangered natural prairie ecosystem with Tom and Sara. We saw many living things when we walked slowly and observed nature carefully.
Sara taught us all the different names for poop.

 We passed around fake poop to see what it looks like. Gross!

 Checking out the furs and the animals!

 This was a touch wall where we stuck our hands in and guessed what we felt.
 This is Sara's group ready for the tour. This group got to taste a flower!
 Tom taught us that crows love to eat ants and told us the name of many plants and flowers.


 Tom put his hand in an ant hill to show us that these ants are harmless. Brave!
 Can you see that deer hiding in the bushes? We could.
At the end of our field trip. The kids were encouraged to come back with their families.
