The first field trip I took my second graders on every school year was a walk in the woods in September. We'd find salamanders under rotting logs, insect galls, all kinds of fungi and lichens, glacial erratics. It's amazing the wonders of nature we can see when carefully observing our outdoor surroundings. <br /><br />My students got so excited about everything they saw on the field trip--and were eager to write about their experience when we returned to school.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-12724086596245219772012-06-22T09:34:12.897-07:002012-06-22T09:34:12.897-07:00A great post and a great link!
