Dirt!

What lives in the dirt? Is there air underground? Is water found in dirt?
Today, students got to play in the dirt and learn more about the small, and often microscopic creatures, that call underground their home. Many of these creatures are insects, invertebrates like worms, and animals such as moles. Plant roots also live in dirt. All these living things are decomposers: they survive by eating and breathing the water, air and minerals found in dirt. They help our gardens grow, and keep our underground ecosystem healthy. Have a conversation with your child about the amazing life thriving underground! Thank you Royce and Melanie for another fun and engaging 4 Winds lesson!
