Last week, the Nature and Wildlife Club at Kingwood Arms took a trip to Old Stone Fort! 🌳
We joined Tom for his woodland tools talk where we learned a little Old Stone Fort history and got to see some of the different tools that were used during the woodland time period. For those of you that didn't know, Old Stone Fort was a ceremonial site, therefore many tools and artifacts from this time period wouldn't be found there. The tools we got to see and learn about were replicas that would have likely been found around what is now Normandy Lake.
I'd highly recommend attending any of the park's talks or events!

I popped into Kingwood Arms' community garden yesterday. We have some tomatoes and purple tomatillos growing, along with some herbs, a couple cucumbers, peppers, and zinnias. Our companion plant - marigolds - are also taking off!

Summer Journeys at CSES wrapped up earlier this month! ☀️
I got to visit with the soon-to-be 2nd-5th grade students. Making learning fun, we had a sorting relay race! These students got to learn about some of our different dairy and beef breeds (along with the products each of them make). Teams competed by sorting either breeds or products into dairy and beef categories until 1 team was declared the winner! 🏆
Keeping the teamwork going, each group made butter - here, everyone's a winner and got to sample their hard work. 🧈
I'm looking forward to next school year!

Geology Rocks! 🪨
At Hands-On Science Center, summer campers got to learn about some of Tennessee’s geology. We discovered fun facts about limestone and sandstone and how these rocks contribute to our soils. For added fun, we also covered how the cool geodes and fossils we can find right in our backyard formed and how they got there in the 1st place! 🐚
Campers got to create salt dough fossils, examine different rocks up close, and see a geode be cracked open!🪨🔨✨

Check out these blooms! 🌼
The pollinator garden at Kingwood Arms is showing off its colors!
All that rain and the couple days of sunshine helped this garden take off!
The black-eyed susans and joe-pye weeds have gotten huge, and the garden phlox is starting to bloom bright pink!
The milkweed bloomed much earlier than the rest, but there were still a couple of it's bright orange flowers showing off.
The 'bird planted' sunflowers towards the back are doing great as well, hopefully later this season the birds will be rewarded with a good harvest! 😂

This month at Kingwood Arms, we dove into a few fun facts about rocks!🪨
Specifically, we focused on limestone, sandstone, and what I like to call "backyard treasures." From geodes to fossils, there is much to be uncovered in Tennessee. Club members got to learn about how all of these stones and 'treasures' came to be.
They also helped me test an activity I'll be doing with another group next week - salt dough fossils! Getting messy and having fun is for everyone, and I greatly appreciated this group's participation. 😃

Another fun Hands-On Science Center Homeschool Science session!
Last week, we covered soil and water conservation - everything from why it matters to some of the many ways we can protect these resources. 🪱💧
I quizzed these future conservationists during the lesson to see if they could spot soil and water conservation practices on farms. Then, they put their knowledge to the test by designing their own stream system, showing the differences between a healthy stream and one that could really use some conservation help.
These students impress me every time with their enthusiasm and creativity!

The Nature and Wildlife Club at Kingwood Arms has planted their plot at the community garden. Everything from herbs to peppers to tomatoes, cucumbers, and flowers! 🫑🌻
I'd like to give a special shout-out to Benny and Thomas for not being afraid to get dirty, all of the transplant starters were planted by them - and they did a beautiful job!
Hopefully mother nature is good to us this year and we will have plenty of fresh produce to share. 🍅

The students at College Street Elementary have been hard at work on their NACD stewardship posters! The theme this year is “Soil. Where it all Begins”. I’ll be picking up the finished products this afternoon, I can’t wait to see how they’ve turned out! 🪱
