| Family Spring Adventure
Spring is a wonderful time of the year! Animals are migrating, building homes,
claiming territories and creating new life. Ask your parents to take you to a nature
center near your home to walk one of the nature trails. Bring with you a pair of
binoculars, a small pad, and a pencil, crayons or markers (bring a book bag to
carry it all). Take some time to walk the nature trail as a family, observing plants and
animals as you walk. As you near the end of your walk, take some time alone on
the trail without anyone else around (let your parents know that you are doing this!).
Look, listen, feel and smell the world around you. Is it quiet? Noisy? Colorful?
Sweet smelling? Using your pad and pencil, make a list of things that you see, hear,
touch and smell. Think of one word to describe your experience alone and tell your
parents. Make a drawing of your new world.
