Tenant Lake Young Naturalist Class

By Leslie Parks - Wednesday, June 17, 2009














This year with MP3 the kids took a class at Tenant Lake. They learned (and I as well) about rodents, slugs and snails, volcanoes, the moon, and a few other things. It was on Thursday from 3 to 4 for 6 weeks. The kids loved it and so did I. Their teacher, Miss Rachel is pregnant and oh so cute. She had lots of energy and was very creative in her teaching. On the day they studied volcanoes, she made a volcano with ice cream, scooped out a center in the top, filled it with chocolate syrup and then right before serving, she poured mint extract on the top and lit it on fire. Very impressive. The extract was 98% alcohol so it burned well and then the chocolate syrup poured over the edge of the ice cream like lava of a volcano. That was a highlight but the kids also went out on the boardwalk and used little fish nets to dip in the water and find bugs. It was a scavenger hunt. Then they talked about the bugs and identified them. I would have never done something like this on my own. Absolutely recommend this.
En mai et juin, nous prenons une classe au lac. Les enfants ont apris des chose au rat, la lune, les volcanos, les escargots, et des betes. Ils ont joue un jeux pour apprendre des escargots. Ils ont construire un volcano, et manger des glace qui semble un volcano. Il y a peut etre vingt enfants dans la classes entre les ages de 6 ans et 11 ans. Ils aiment de attrapper les betes d'eau et voir la lune. J'aime la classe et l'enseigner. Elle fait tres bon avec les etudients.
