Year-round, we hear from listeners who call or email their observations of the natural world to us and we love hearing from everyone who contributes! During the school year, we have the sweet treat of hearing from classrooms and kids around the listening area as they report what they've been noticing. This week, in addition to recieving emails and phone calls from listeners, we heard from five schools and one homeschooler! Acorns on the ground, a monarch release, ripe tomatoes, hawks, bears, geese, golf ball sized hail and bees are just a sampling of the reported observations that came our way in the past 7 days!
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.
