🌻 **We uncovered a hidden light on our science nature walk!** 🌿🔬✨
At **Rays of Hidden Light Academy**, we ventured out on the trail for a little science exploration, and nature did not disappoint! 🌳
Our students observed **singing cicadas, American pokeweed, butterflies, birds, caterpillars, quartz rocks**, and so many other fascinating pieces of the world around us. 🦋🐛🪨🐦
But we didn’t stop at observing.
We challenged our students to take what they discovered and **turn their scientific observations into poetry.** ✍🏽📖
And WOW… check out one of my students reading his poem! 🎤✨
This was his **FIRST time writing a poem**, and it was absolutely beautiful. Watching him transform the things he saw on our nature walk into words, imagery, and creativity was such a special moment.
I think we may have uncovered another **hidden light… a LIGHT OF POETRY.** 💛🌻
This is why we believe learning should give students opportunities to explore, create, discover, and uncover gifts they didn’t even know they had.
🎥 **Check out his poem and celebrate this young poet with us!**
