Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Merrill School Forest.  Mary, the Director of the School Forest, and I had found ourselves talking about the unique outlet of utilizing experiential education to teach students of all ages.  Mary has a wealth of experience, and it was so great to be able to see all that she does with students!  I worked along side first graders seeking to discover bugs, we searched high and low, under rocks, in creeks and ponds, and then checked out our finds under a microscope.  Thanks Mary for taking the time to show me so much!
