First we had a scavenger hunt, looking high and low to find things like habitats, insects, objects that were big and small, and more to sharpen our observation skills of all things in the Habitat Discovery Garden!
Then we continued using our 5 senses to investigate a fall favorite: different varieties of apples! After noting their color, size, smell, and texture, we got to taste each variety. Some were definitely favored more than others (Sweet Tango was a group favorite!). Mrs. Murphy also brought various nuts from different trees for students to study and try to identify.

Taste test! Unfortunately, Granny Smith was NOT the crowd favorite...
Hickory, walnuts, and acorns- oh my!
