Nature Adventure

We had an AMAZING day outside.  We ventured to Hubbard Park again and enjoyed a cold, but beautiful morning hiking through tall grasses, woods, and fields.  We listened as our naturalist, Amy, use bird calls to invite a wood thrush, and at least 12 chickadees to the trees within feet of where we were.  We enjoyed our snacks with tea brewed over a fire using a Kelly Kettle.  After some fun games, we finished our day by gathering sticks to make a tri-pod sculpture.  When we returned to school, the students wrote in their science journals and I’ve never seen them so engaged in expressing what they saw, and still wonder about our experience outside.  It was magical.
