Nature Journaling Bird Walk with MSLF
May 12, 2020

A welcome sign of spring in the Midwest are birds, returning to the feeders in our backyards, or migrating back to our area for breeding before the cold weather returns. We are lucky to have a wide variety of birds where we live! Recently, Outdoor Classroom Director Julia Lunn took us on an early morning Nature Journaling Bird Walk at Middlefork Savanna, right next to the MSLF campus. Nature Journaling is a regular activity for Elementary students at MSLF, going out onto our own 5.5 acres to explore nature with their senses, and journaling about their observations and experiences.

 

Have you noticed the birds around your house or on your nature walks? Watch this video , then download this checklist of area birds and count how many you can find when you go out exploring!

Greenhouse progress! 🌱 Over the past couple of months, we've been excited to see our new greenhouse taking shape! From the foundation to the floor to the knee wall, you can now see our new greenhouse classroom coming to life on campus. We are so grateful for the generous support of our community that helped bring this vision to life, enhancing our gardening enrichment program with a year-round space where all students can learn about plant lifecycles and sustainability. Stay tuned as we continue to share more progress! . . . #MSLF #montessori #educationforlife #MSLF60 #mslfcommunity #newgreenhouse #raisethestakesgrowthefuture
