Last Friday, our kindergarten students embarked on an exciting educational adventure to Parque Monarca in Tenjo. This special field trip was designed to connect students with nature and support the goals of our ongoing Ecokids project. It was a day filled with learning, discovery, and fun as the children explored the wonders of the natural world.

Students’ curiosity was piqued by carnivorous plants, such as the Venus flytrap and pitcher plants, as they engaged in observation and learning. They also explored the butterfly garden, which allowed students to see butterflies up close and learn about their life cycle. In the insect zone, the children discovered how insects like ants, beetles, and bees play an important role in nature. Students also rolled up their sleeves for some interactive activities, planting seeds in recycled containers, putting into practice what they’ve learned about sustainability.

This field trip was part of our school’s broader commitment to environmental education through the Ecokids project. By experiencing nature firsthand, students deepened their understanding of biodiversity and the importance of protecting the planet. Parque Monarca offered a perfect setting to connect classroom lessons with real-life experiences, as our young learners became more conscious and caring citizens of the Earth.

Let’s keep exploring, learning, and caring for our planet!
