Mosaic Digital Academy Elementary Students Get Wild at the Oxbow Eco-center

Mosaic Digital Academy students in grades K-5 met St. Lucie’s backyard wildlife during a fun and interactive journey through the Oxbow Eco-center Preserve. Students compared local native, exotic, and invasive plants and animals, learning how they interact within our Florida ecosystems. By collecting data through hands-on exploration, students determined the status of the Oxbow Preserve’s flora and fauna as friend or foe. Solution oriented discussions gave students an opportunity to think deeply about how they can protect this fragile ecosystem they call home for the future.
