What a busy, but fun day!

Upon walking to our classroom we were greeted by Rocky the Ram! 

Once in our classroom we were so excited for the pancake breakfast!  Thank you to all of the staff who cooked and delivered the food for us! 

We then added our final coins and bills to the penny wars. 

Outside time! 

Back in the classroom it was time to work. 

After lunch we were so excited to meet our creek expert!  She answered many of our questions! 

The creek water was so high and moving so quickly from the rain yesterday! 

We learned the difference of moss and algae. 

We also learned where the creek goes - it moves south and goes all the way to Florida! 

"I've been to Florida!"

"I am going to Florida tomorrow!"

During our visit, some middle school friends approached with a crawdad.  

Our expert shared with us that crawdads live near creeks and ponds.  

One of our questions was wondering what this hole is.  We found out that it is actually a crawdad hole!  God worked it our perfectly for the middle school friends to being a crawdad to us so that we can see what one is and learn about its' home. 

We then noticed a large puddle of water in the woods.  We learned that this area of our woods is actually a wetland!  Frogs, salamanders, and crawdads live in this type of habitat. 

Thank you Ms. Bri!  We look forward to your next visit!
