Picking out their very own pine cones, a thoughtful gift from our host.
"Moss!" not cheese

Even Alexa was interested in moss.
Checking out the pond's ecosystem.
Kindergarten's trip to the pond
Trey's antlers... which wasn't nearas great as the moss necklace he created
and special delivered to his mom.
What a great experience! I had no idea that the class would become so intrigued by the moss... but they definitely were. I think everyone in the class not only fished for it but also touched it. But besides just playing with moss, I think a lot was discovered. It was truly an educational, yet fun, mini field trip. Special thanks to my parent chaperons.
*** We did take back a jar full of the pond water, moss, and some underwater plant life. Oh, and a piece of dried moss. When moss is dry it looks very much like cardboard and/or paper. Perhaps we discovered a future valuable natural resource!
