More Spring Hikes

At Winterrowd, we brought some buckets and collected some snails for studying. We've read about snails and slugs, learned of their anatomy, movement, diet, predators, and defenses. Our snails are fun to watch, crawling around their new home, eating lettuce, snuggling to sleep in groups...






We visited Routzong on Friday. We were surprised that there were not as many wildflowers as last year at this time. We took along our Nature Scavenger Hunt and checked off a lot of the items! Olivia was finding a lot of things that we overlooked. She found a robin's eggshell on the ground, a spider and web, and a snail.
