3rd grade Ts know how to make a fellow T feel 💓! Was teasing with @njkrueger my "demands" before coming to her school w/ our pilot @NISDOLC mobile visits. This and friendly faces is what welcomed me before our learning! I even shared some fruit w/ the 🪱. 😆 TY Nancy @JustinJags

Our @JCTElementary 2nd graders think worms are a bit more interesting thanks to the cool tool the hand lens! We heard Ss talking like scientist, thinking like scientist and being scientist as they observed worms today! @NISDScience @LAERomer @ksuarez28 @OutdoorAmy

Needed a tool to catch come some beetles and true bugs, but couldn't find one. Thanks to this @Whataburger cup for helping me out! Could you say "whatacup"? 😆 Now our Ss will have some insects to observe (and then release.) 🔍🐞🪲📓 @OutdoorAmy @NISDScience

"Come here, come here butterflies!" @RoanokeRangers Kinder did their best through running (and sneaking) to catch a 🦋 and observe closely. Some were successful! Most were considerate to include their classmates in their discovery.😁 Thanks for exploring with us!! @KristiKing11

We investigated part of @Hatfieldcougars schoolyard with PreK to observe and ask Qs about insects! We even found an itsy bitsy spider attempting to go up the water spout! 🔎🦋🐞🐝🕷🪳🔍 #NISDoutside

@heinrichexplore @TXchildren @TPWDparks @OUTDChannel @disdeec @OutdoorLifeMag @LastChildInWood @naturechildhood @nature_org Looks like a hawk moth? What kind is it?

One way to tell you've been at the OLC is muddy shoes! We encourage Ss to wear shoes they can get dirty AND to be aware of where they are stepping... 😬 bet seeing those fossils(or sedimentation) was worth it @PrairieViewES 5th! @MsAtianaWaters @MsBecan @OutdoorAmy #NISDoutside
