Cauliflory. It’s a Thing.

Happy Friday, JRPS family! Here’s a Nature Nugget that Katie Schmidt posted, with a vocabulary word I’d never heard before! Cauliflory!

Project Wet Video!

Project WET is a favorite curriculum and activity resource for JRPS education staff. Today, we thought we’d highlight this cute video with a few ideas for activities to do with your preschool-aged kiddos!

Web of Life!

Here’s an activity that’s ideal for the third-grader in your life: Web of Life (or build a food web). We build food webs like this when third grade classes come to visit JRPS educators on field trips, and it’s a great one to work on as a family, at home!

Hello Pink Sorrel!
