Wednesday March 2, 2016

Highlights:

 Mrs. Daniels class had a presentation from Weaselhead Nature center. We got to touch 4 different types of animal fur. We learned about their habits in the winter and we got to look at their “scat.”  We also learned about the tracks they leave in the snow and how they move.  We talked about hibernation and migration.

Mrs. Leung Chow’s class had the fabulous opportunity to meet some crazy and interesting reptiles.  We even got to touch a few. We were a fantastic audience and learned so much about reptiles.
