IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

So, today was quite the day! Our friends did such an awesome job helping prepare the garden spaces today. They worked really hard to weed the garden boxes to prepare them for soil and plants. They also tried some of the herbs from the already established garden. They tried rosemary, basil, and broccoli and let me tell you…they LOVED the broccoli!! The last thing they did was clean up some flowers that we have to move in order to put in another garden box. They had such a fun time today, and were definitely loving the herbs tasting!

And then a little after we got back from working in the garden, Nicole Misencik, from WTHR came and did such a wonderful job sharing what she does and why she does it! She shared that she is a scientist which Selah responded, “She is smart!” She showed us a map with high and low pressure and talked about that. She then showed us a temperature map (rainbow map) and talked about the numbers (temperature) correlated with the color, and then she showed us a chart with a whole lot of numbers which helps her decide what to share with the audience. The last thing that she shared was the forecast for the weekend. The children did a great job listening to her and asking questions at the end.

Once we were finished, I asked the children to draw or write something they learned from Nicole, and I was really impressed with what they did!

Overall, a great day filled with fun, learning, and laughter!!
