Fourth Grade Science Adventures

Grade 4 Moloney class visited the garden on Monday morning. Students rolled over logs, lifted up rocks and made discoveries of roly pollies, woodlouse spiders, mealworms, millipedes and more! A classmate also brought in a 4' long snake skin that had come all the way from Georgia!  So many hands on discoveries!
