Amboy Wetlands Fieldtrip
We spent Wednesday at the Amboy 4H Center. It was a hot day but about 10 degrees cooler in the shade next to the creek. We caught salamanders, crayfish, a toad, and assorted water bugs under rocks in the creek. When we went in the building to have lunch a four legged creature carrying its home on its back surprised us. It turned out to be a painted turtle that escaped from its container. After lunch we took a walk in the woods and learned about the "toothbrush" tree, the "tea-cher" bird and the "peewee" bird. We spent some time looking for creatures under logs, dead leaves, and in tree bark. Thank you to the parents that helped chaperone our day! It was a wonderful day of exploring and learning!
Third grade Playday
Tuesday morning we took part in the Third Grade Play Day. We played games like twizzle, frisbee golf, and the sack and wheelbarrow race. We also ran the 30 yard dash, 60 yard dash, and relay race. The best part of play day is the last event- the tug-of-war! It was a fun morning with perfect weather. Thanks to all the families that came out to cheer us on!
