November Nature Day in the Orca class

We all look forward to Nature Day in the Orca class. This is one day a month where we hold class in a wonderful natural setting somewhere on the Island. Here we are exploring Meigs Farm. There are a lot of paths at this park, so we learned to mark our trail in two ways: one is to leave a stick arrow pointing to which path we choose to take (this required voting at every crossroads), and the other way we marked the path was to tie a piece of yarn on a bush by the chosen path.

We wore our nature backpacks, and carried our nature journals and our own water bottles.

Look at this interesting gate! We had lots of discussion figuring out what animals these were.

Poop! Whose poop? Coyote? Raccoon? Dog? 

We tried camouflage and hiding in the bushes to surprise our friends on the path. Can't wait for our next Nature Day at Fort Ward Park!
