Traps and bees and teepees: Venetucci Farm adds new outdoor learning lab for D-11

AI Summary

Second graders in School District 11 will soon have a new outdoor classroom at Venetucci Farm. The "Nature Navigators" program will let them learn about nature by exploring it. They will visit stations to learn about things like how bees pollinate plants, see animal traps, and learn about how their ancestors lived on the land. They will also study water and how it affects the land. This program is part of a larger effort in District 11 to give students special learning experiences each year. It aims to help kids connect more with what they are learning by getting them outside and into the community.
