The first and second graders enjoyed a glorious day at Lake Katherine Nature Center in Palos Heights recently. They participated in an adventure called “Discover the Gardens.” They explored the woods, prairies, and herb garden. Students conducted a water experiment with thermometers and the lake temperature. They played with a live frog, measured prairie grasses and smelled herbs. The students also examined lichens, mosses, conifers and flowers. Everyone enjoyed a day of exploration and fun. They even went on a hayride and saw a real waterfall.
