Learning in the great outdoors!
Our first graders have been exploring Bull Shoals State Park and learning all about white-tailed deer, owls, and bird beak adaptations! Students also enjoyed a nature hike, and the learning continues back in the classroom as they dissect owl pellets to discover even more about these fascinating creatures!
What a fun way to bring science to life!
