Snakes in the School!


Snakes were the topic of the day at the preK and Kindergarten class at Lac du Flambeau school.  Naturalist Licia Johnson presented on all the unique and interesting adaptations that snakes have.  The students were then able to observe the Discovery Center resident corn snake, Maize. They measured out the longest snake in the world and the smallest snake.   Some were scared, some laughed, but in the end they all had a fun time.  They also had a chance to explore the many snake related items that were brought to the classroom-including snake x-rays, skin sheds, books and more.

         












You can visit Maize in our Nature Nook and view our displays of snake skins, sheds any time we're open!
