Field trip season kicked off with one of our favorites: Ecology! 2nd graders from The School District of Beloit and The Lincoln Academy learned about producers, consumers & decomposers, the resources needed to survive in a habitat, and food webs! The rain didn’t stop the kids from hiking scavenger hunt style through Big Hill Park, in fact, they had even more fun finding tons of fungi & worms! 🪱 🍄‍🟫 🌼 🌳 🐛
