Dressing for the weather:
Please ensure your child is dressed in layers as the mornings can be quite chilly and we start each day outside. Thanks! As well, it's helpful to have a pair of rain boots for days such as today when the grass is wet (you could send either boots for outdoor shoes in a plastic bag).
Today we went on our first walk as a full class, and it was fabulous! Not only did the students do a great job listening and following instructions, but we saw some interesting things.
We found a hickory tussock moth caterpillar and learned that we should not touch them as they're venomous! We also learned that they eat many types of leaves including hickory, elm, ash and oak before overwintering in their cocoons. Some students nicknamed them "Hickory Dickory Dock Caterpillars".
We also saw a heron near the dam and watched it take flight. We got to see it for a second time further down the river!
