Our Field Trip to the WL OEC!

We had such a perfect day for our field trip to the WL Outdoor Education Center! It was a beautiful day for being outdoors, too! We are so appreciative of the WL Foundation for Excellence who was so generous with the mini grant that helped fund our trip today. 

Ms. Char drove us on the school bus. 

We learned about the tracks that different types of animals make in the woods. We were very careful when we touched the bear!

We looked for signs that birds had been eating here...we saw empty corn cobs and saw some feathers. 

We hiked into the woods ... all of the boys remembered the "group plan" we made and stayed together in our group. 

We even found some old deer bones in the woods! That was an exciting discovery! 

We learned how different animals are able to camouflage themselves to hide from predators. 

We worked with a partner to camouflage some potatoes and hid them in the garden - then we looked to see if we could find them again. 

 It was a fantastic trip, full of learning and friendship! When we returned to school, we drew our favorite part in our journals.
