Last week Student M collected seeds from a very neat but invasive tree, so this week we went looking for native species! Found a Kentucky Coffee Tree right in an urban #hamont park! #kentuckycoffeetree

thank you so much, @applez13 for these pictures ~ you have captured how much I'm enjoying teaching these EcoEducation programs #hamont

Today Student A learned about the different seeds in our seed bank collection. Student A compared the different types of seeds learning about the concepts of texture, colour, size, density and other types of observational data. Student A did a great job of reading the workbook today :) Outdoor learning isn't just about kinesthetic experiences, we also practice reading, writing, spelling and vocabulary! #hamont #seedsaving

Student A learned about the scientific process, made some stellar observations and drawings of her seeds, and successfully wrote out all of her observations! #hamont #outdoorlearning

There is no question, it is an incredibly difficult time to be parenting young children, but it's also a rare moment for new experiences. One of the most incredible things I've witnessed is the unique interactions when parents are directly involved in their child's learning process. #hamont #eco-education

Student M did an excellent job saving and labelling his Tomato seeds using the worksheet from earlier this week. #hamont #ecoeducation
