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! |
