Community Trip to The Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center

We had an awesome time exploring at the NEW nature center on the grounds of The Little Red Schoolhouse. There were lots of animals, artifacts, fossils, and exhibits with real stuffed animals.
Check out all the fun we had exploring!

Here we are looking inside a large replica of a wigwam.


Lorenzo and Amaya were taking a good hard look at the fossils on the limestone found on the grounds.

This exhibit was so cool! There were different kinds of skulls numbered and mounted on a turn table. Then there were clues under each number to help you guess which animal the skull belonged to. Once you made your guess you could flip over the clues to discover whether or not you were right!
Shannon loved this one!
A close up view of the animal skulls!

Here's Terrence trying to figure out "What's in the Tree?" Here you reach your hand inside and use your sense of touch to try and figure out what animal is living inside.

Here Shannon are Diego are getting up close to check out a snake! Ms. Carol made sure she stayed far away!

Lorenzo was mesmorized by this bullsnake slithering all over the tank.

Terrence and Amaya worked really hard at completing this puzzle on the life cycle of a butterfly!
