What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreThat is everywhere! In our backyard, we can see it on car rides, when we go to the park. Anytime we go outside there are signs of nature all around us! We can see, touch and feel it!
Joy’s favorite animal (at the moment) is butterflies and chickens! We have been observing animal life cycles by planting a butterfly garden and incubating chicken eggs! Our eggs hatched this morning and we will take care of the chicks and give them to the farmer after a few weeks! We have 5 chrysalises right now! Joy can’t wait for them to turn into Monarch Butterflies and begin their migration!
Looking for animals, of course! Joy is a very curious kid and loves to observe and learn!
