DK has been studying our environment and habitats. Today, they extended their learning with a visit to the Muskegon Nature Preserve. Students used nets to get a closer look at what’s in the water, took a nature walk to discover and explore their surroundings, climbed trees, and even made bird feeders for all the birds to enjoy!
