Friday marked the first field trip of the year for our class. It was a great outdoor excursion through a diverse Illinois Prairie and The Grove, a National Historic Landmark. Most of the day was spent following a docent around and listening to interesting facts about Illinois' biodiversity and ecosystems. A couple highlights included completing a scavenger hunt in a prairie and seeing a gigantic alligator snapping turtle at The Grove. Thanks to our parent volunteer for her chaperoning and photography skills!
