Last Wednesday, we went on a trip to Edwards Gardens/Toronto Botanical Gardens. It was a perfect day, with the sun shining, and warm weather. We did NOT, however, enjoy the pesky wasps!!!!
We had a chance to hike through Edwards Gardens on our own, doing a scavenger hunt, taking photos, and enjoying nature. The students saw a groundhog, ducks, chipmunks, squirrels, a dragonfly (up close), beautiful plants and flowers, the river with a waterfall and water wheel, and a forest.
Later, we were led by a guide through the teaching gardens where students learned about plants, the food cycle, conserving energy, and ways to help the environment.
I took many photographs, and will try to post some at a future date. Ask your child something they learned on that day.
It was quite enjoyable to be out of the classroom, and to get to know each other a little better during a fun, but educational day!
