Bluestem Grass

This week we have been exploring the grassland ecosystem.  We have discovered that the Konza prairie is an example of the American prairie, and is a grassland!  Mrs. Feldkamp has native Bluestem grass in her pasture, so she brought some to school.  

Bluestem grass is a tallgrass prairie grass example.  We learned that the grass is a blue-green when it is growing.  We also discovered that this grass is tall!  Our two tallest students stood beside the grass, and our two shortest students stood beside the grass.  Bluestem grass can grow to be 5-6 feet tall!
