Forest Day April 8, 2019

Such a perfect day to explore in the forest--sunny, calm, and 70 degrees! The creatures thought it was a perfect spring day too. We listened and heard a variety of birds and frogs calling to each other. We also found owl pellets, larva, bugs, frogs, snails, and a snake.

We played, climbed, imagined, built, and dug.

In the afternoon we spent about 10 minutes down by the pond. In the morning the kindergartners and first graders were there so it was too busy for us to join in.
