From the Primary Upper West: Cottontail rabbits have roughly 17,000 taste buds, compared to humans, who boast merely 8,000-10,000. So, when a cottontail takes a bite of spinach or dandelion, the array and depth of flavors is more broad than us humans can imagine.

The Upper West was lucky enough to play temporary host to a group of teenage cottontail rabbits, before releasing the nest into the wild of the primary playground hills and tunnels.

Butterfly, Fern, and Peanut Butter were fed a diet of specially formulated milk, apples, scraps of kale, and sunflowers. After a week and a half, the bun-buns all hopped away, started eating the foliage adorning the hills, and found coverage for safety. We’ve been placing an apple slice near the release space and checking it daily... they’re still around!

Raintree’s grounds are a unique oasis nestled in town, where many living creatures flourish. We were lucky to have a small hand in this part of the wild. ... See MoreSee Less

Butterflies and specifically monarchs have been a focus in many of our classrooms at Raintree.

From one of our lower elementary classrooms: We have been fortunate to have a parent in our classroom supplying us with monarch caterpillars. We have observed one caterpillar go through complete metamorphosis and so had a butterfly releasing ceremony. For our ceremony we said some words of encouragement to our little friend before setting it off on its journey. It was a magical moment that included cheering and clapping! To further our study an older student has been giving lessons to the others about the difference between male and female monarchs and instars. We have also looked at the parts of a caterpillar and butterfly. Currently we are working on a monarch mural that everyone in our class contributed to. Next week we plan to separate milkweed seeds and take some home for planting. We have really been enjoying learning about monarchs! ... See MoreSee Less
