4-Winds Leaf Eaters

On Wednesday, Mr. McAuley came in to teach us all about leaf eaters. We learned that the woods all around us are filled with thousands of insects and other small creatures. In looking at our ecosystem, we learned that the host of hungry leaf-eaters are feeding and hiding in our schoolyard plants. On Wednesday, we went outside and looked for leaves which leaf-eaters fed on. We talked about how leaf cutters leave behind discolored patches where they feed, they also may leave holes, feed along the leaf edge, or just eat the soft tissue between the veins, revealing a leaf skeleton. We had a great time learning all about leaf cutters. A big thanks to Mr. MacAuley for coming in to teach us!
