Little Cataraqui Field Trip

I finally got my CPIC so I went on a field trip with Isabel's class to the Little Cataraqui Conservation Area today.

I love this age of children.  They're old enough to function on their own and they're still really enthusiastic about the world.  The kids in my group were the best kind - good listening, non-hyper, happy children.  

We learned about all of the special things that nature has to offer the animals that live out in the world.  We learned how to look and listen for those specials things and then we went on a "treasure hunt" to find them.  

We found the giant oak trees that give food and shelter to squirrels;  we hid among the long lean pines like white-tail deer; and we stayed still and quiet while we watched the black-capped chickadees flit among the bushes.

Isabel's teacher does such a wonderful job with the class.  It's always nice to be able to help out when I can.  We had a really great time and I feel so lucky to have been able to join the kids on this special trip.
