We're back!
We had a great day at the Nature Centre. We had amazing weather and excellent two-by-two lines walking to and from the streetcar. Thanks to all the fabulous moms who made this trip possible.
With our guides, we went on a hike and looked for animals and their homes. During the walk, we collected ingredients for our pizzas, which we left outside for the animals. Each student made a pizza with ingredients for a specific animal, for example a squirrel or a bird. We also got to see a real turtle and touch a corn snake! I'll let your scientist tell you a bit more about the trip. Here are some good questions to ask:
What kind of animal did you make a pizza for?
What does this animal eat?
Do leaves help keep animals warm in the winter? How do you know?
Where do chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs and birds live in the winter?
What was the turtle's name?
Can turtles come out of their shells?
What did the snake feel like?
What was the signal to stop and listen at the nature centre?
What did we have to pretend to be when a dog walked by us on the trail?
Pictures coming soon!
