Today, in Urban Naturalist, we used our Power of Observation! We learned how important it is to observe things in nature for special details that help to identify the object. We had a lesson on Scientific Illustration and one of our very artistic students, Jaida, assisted fellow Urban Naturalists by offering helpful tips about drawing!

Her work certainly paid off!
We then were able to observe and learn about a Cornsnake named Corny! To learn a bit about cornsnakes, click

We then went outside in the schoolyard to see what types of plants and animals we could observe out there. We discovered that this year's group of Urban Naturalists are EXPERT grub catchers! We collected and observed some of our specimens before playing a fun game!

All in all, we had a great day enjoying the wonderful weather and utilizing the Power of Observation!!!!
