I saw alot of leaves around then all of a sudden kasey showed us the little teeny snail that Tangie caught! It was so cute! i kind of just wanted to kiss it. But i knew that would be very nasty
As i was daydreaming about the little snail i realized it was very nice outside, warm, little breeze, sun shining.... It was very nice out.
I heard kids all around talking and walking in the woods. The wind was blowing the leaves and it sounded beautiful.

Site Observation Day four

Animal Kingdom- We went outside where the pond is and we found some geese. They were floating casually in the water. It was quite windy outside I think they were just floating with the wind. It felt nice out, when the wind wasn't blowing. The second animal we seen was a little green grasshopper that Tangie caught. It was very cute and nice... well i think it was nice. It hopped very fastly and blended into the grass so it was hard to find whenever it hopped away. The third animal was a cray fish in the creek, the sun was gleaming down into the water making it easier to see the little fellow. The crayfish looked very interesting.

Plant Kingdom- As we were walking around the pond me and Emily spotted a little tree blowing in the wind in the middle of a pile of rocks. We thought it was interesting because the little tree looked really lonely and sad. We thought if we took a picture and blogged about it that it might feel better. So i am doing this to make the little lonely tree not so sad! After that we started walking down a path, i seen this regular sized tree. I don't know why but it caught my attention. The wind was blowing heavily... moving the branches from back and forth. It looked scary in a way. It looked suspicious. You know that face you make when you get caught doing something your not supposed to be doing ? Thats what the tree looked like it was doing.. as wierd as that may sound, its true. The third plant we saw was a teeny weeny little yellow flower. It was about the size of a quarter. It looked really pretty except I was scared to pick it up because i didnt want to kill it and also because it looked like it might have bugs in it.


Fungus- As we were walking through the woods looking for a fungus, me and Emily came across a mushroom. We were going to take pictures but right before our eyes another classmate(not saying any names) walked past and stepped on the mushroom. It was totally squished and looked like white squishy stuff. Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of certain species of higher fungi.

Ecology SLE third block



On Janurary 12th our class went outside behind the school to make some
observations on what we see, hear and feel. What we saw at site one was mud, trees, a bird, animal poop, grass, a building, and cars. We heard a train going by, dead leaves cracking, and wind blowing trees. Lastly we felt the winters cold weather.  We also had to look for signs of life.
The picture above is a sign of life. Its a trail that was probably made by an animal
most likely a deer.




This is the poop me and Emily found at site #1. It is a sign of life which we were looking for. I think it is poop of a dog.



This is a feather we found in the woods on a trail, Its a turkey feather. It was site #2. At site #2 we heard the leaves cracking and the wind blowing. We saw this feather, trees, leaves, and dirt. We still felt very very cold.
