Fox Snakes, Bullfrogs and Turtles - Oh My!

What an amazing day we had on Fighting Island!  Under the direction of Miss Pearl and Mr. Dale, the students got up close and personal with an array of wildlife.  We took water samples, found living organisms, planted wildflowers and maple trees, found and made a plaster cast of animal prints, went on a bug and leaf hunt, and got the opportunity to look at the water organisms under the microscope.  To top it all off - we got to ride on a barge to get over the island.

Thank you very much to the parent volunteers who made the trip with us!  With your help, we all had an amazing day.
