What a "Tree"mendous Day!

Today our class took a trip the the Tree Hill Nature Center.  We began our day trekking through the woods in search of interesting plants and wildlife.  We managed to discover a black snake sunning itself on a log, some lizards dashing about, and turtles surfacing from the depths a pond for a tasty pellet...yum!  We heard the gentle tunes of the songbirds in the trees above and the occasional buzzing of bugs in our ears.  After a pausing to devour our homemade lunches...thanks moms & dads!...it was off to the garden to hunt for bugs, explore seeds, and dig for earthworms. We finished up the day with a look around the lab where we examined a variety of specimens through the safety of a glass barrier. Some of them were pretty creepy!  It was quite a day!  Check out some of the fun below!
