Nature Hunt around Nativity House

We kicked off our Climate and Weather unit with a "Nature Hunt" in which we tracked down a spruce tree, pine tree, fern, oak tree, prairie, and a maple tree--while we learned that these types of vegetation became dominant and declined according to changes in climate and human activity. Later, the kids learned about clouds and rain and the little ones made it rain indoors! We didn't actually see a mammoth though. Maybe next time...
