I spent most of the workday outside yesterday. The fifth grade went to an open air activity called Kansas Kids Can. C-care A-about N-Nature. It was hosted by the Great Plains Nature Center My kiddo did not relate directly to the activities, but he enjoyed being outside, and listening to people and being greeted by his friends, etc. He was very tired and so was I. I think I was in bed before 7:30 last night. Our groups participated in finding the living things in the bottom of the ponds that will turn into other things, like dragonflies, or beetles. They skimmed up things and the host would tell them what they found. There were baby crayfish and snails and frogs as well. They learned about the water cycle and how today's rain might have been the dinosaur's waste water, and how to plan cities to pollute less and use water more wisely. They had the opportunity to fish with cane poles and they did a lot of catch and release. They built examples of habitat for local wild life, took a nature walk, explored a wildlife museum. My kiddo and I and some others rode in an air conditioned van instead of a bus so we had it good. Today is foggy, but I may get outside to work anyway, pretty soon.
