Four Winds

We had our first Four Winds lesson this week. This month's topic was "Signs of Leaf Eaters". The children learned that all leaves show signs of plant eaters. They looked at different leaves to find damage from leaf eaters and sorted them into similar groups. They looked for a leaf that showed evidence of a leaf-miner, hole-feeder, edge-feeder, leaf-roller, skeletonizer, and leaf-wrinkler. They also learned about ecosystems and food chains. They discussed how different plants and animals are connected and where they get their energy from (sun, plant or meat).  We really appreciate April and Lauren leading this month's lesson!
