Every week we hear from Minnesota school kids as they share what they've been observing outside. This week there were some incredible phenology notes gathered by the kids - porcupines, great blue herons,increased daylight, snowdays, slushy lakes, turkeys and syrup are just the tip of the iceberg. We even heard from students at the University of MN St. Paul campus! Click on the reports to hear the full reports from our intrepid reporters, a song from U of M students and much more!
What are you noticing outside? We would love to hear from you whether you are in a classroom or your living room! Don't hesitate to email or give us a jingle and leave a message at 218.999.9876.

If you are a teacher or someone who works with kids, we invite you to join the Phenology Network on KAXE/KBXE! John Latimer has created a curriculum spanning the whole school year and will connect with you on how to get students observing nature and sending in their phenology reports. Send an email of interest along to get you set up!
