Friday walk in the woods with afternoon group

Ms. Reynolds, a volunteer with Joshua's Trust, taught us how to use a compass.  
We learned about North, East, South and West.
The direction of the trail head will be important to know to determine our bearings.  This will also be necessary when we draw trail maps for the school.

Pointing west means east is behind us.  Look at the shadow.
Compasses were attached to child friendly sized lids and made into necklaces.

Independence is key.



Parent volunteers also helped with using the new binoculars.  We were looking for squirrel dreys up high and rabbit tracks down low.
Children waited their turn for the binoculars.  



Coyote scat.
More scat.




Special thanks to Ms. Reynolds and Mrs. Limberg for their support today!
