Undaunted 4th Graders at the Arboretum
Read MoreOn Monday, the T/Th 4th graders went to the Arboretum for a field trip. After attending a “Nature’s Works of Art” workshop where they explored color, shape, and texture in nature, they became the artists themselves. Inspired by Lewis and Clark’s journal pages where they would sketch and write observations about plants and animals that they found on their expedition, the students sat in a nature spot of their choice where they sketched and wrote observations about the organism they selected. -
