Wilderness Science Center

We had a beautiful fall day for our field trip to the BV Wilderness Science Center located behind Blue River Elementary.  Mr. Spake was amazing and taught us about habitats and native Kansas animals.

Going on a nature walk to see the three types of habitats we learned about: tallgrass prairie, wetlands, and the forest.

Matching pictures with Kansas animal pelts (so cool!)

Presenting animals in pairs.

 We will go back again in the spring to see how things have changed in nature and to learn more about the great outdoors of Kansas!

Paul Mesner's Puppet Show

We went to Paul Mesner's Puppet Show today to see Officer Buckle and Gloria.  We read the book this morning before we left and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. 

Paul Mesner's Puppets Link

Some of the characters from the play. 

Paul Mesner's is great because when the show is over, the puppeteers show the kids how the puppets work and take questions from the audience.
