Hiking at the Lake

Anyone who knows me knows how I love nature.  Luckily for me, many of the kindergarten science standards revolve around teaching little ones about nature.  On this day we discussed the seasons and how the trees would soon be changing.  We walked out to the lake and hiked around it.  We saw lots of things to discuss including a swimming snake, a real Common Nighthawk, frogs, turtles, and huge cracks in the ground.  We discussed all of these things and they had lots of questions about their surroundings.  Also you will notice that we have a new student in our class and he fits in nicely!
