Site Observations Day 5

As the class was listening to ms.r talk about what we were going to do outside, we made our little sight, hear, and feel, thing on a piece of paper and we got all of are things together and went outside. As we walked outside, it felt warm and had a nice cool breeze blowing. We all met up at the red dumpster behind the school and started to walk to the woods. We stopped in the middle near the entrance because some people had to go back in the school to get some different shoes. We started are first sight observation and spread out there wasn't much that we could find because there wasn't that much near us. Conner and I found a pin cone and put that as our organism.

After we took the picture we went to regroup with class as soon as the others came back from the school with there different shoes. ms.r said " okay, lets start walking down the trail. so i got my paper and pen ready to write we got to the next observation. the cool breeze was still blowing and was feeling really good outside when we were in the woods. we started down the trail and found this log laying down across the path an we seen a spider crawling on the ground and we tried to get a picture of it. and Conner took a good one of the spider on the log.

I think that this picture of the spider on the log is a good one. After the picture was taken and we got caught back up with class, we continued to walk on through the woods. A few minutes later, we came up on a smallish pond and made a circle around it to look and see what we could find. Ms.r found a frog and tadpoles swimming around in there I tried to get a picture of it but when i hit the button the frog and tadpole was gone. Someone said that there was a salamander in the pond as well. i didn't see it but I tried my best to find it and get a good picture of it but the salamander was gone as well. There was a huge house in the back ground and some hounds barking and howling in the distance. They sounded like hunting hound dogs. i could tell by the way they were barking and howling. It was warm while we were around the creek but a cool breeze was still blowing through the woods. I put the salamander,tadpole, and frog as a community. Ms.r spoke up and said we have 20 minutes so lets start heading back.  Our third observation was when we passed the wood bridge and looked in the pond and found a frog. someone picked up a frog and got a picture but i didn't. i was way to far ahead and kept on walking up the hill. As we started walking back we stopped at the pond and made that our last observation. There was some geese in the far side of the pond. We finished up at that observation and started to head back to the school. I took one more picture of the woods and put it as a population.

When we got back to the school it was time to go to our next class. It was a fun day out in the woods again. I like to be out there because that's mostly were i am unless I'm working in the garage with my dad, but other than that I am waiting to go back out there with the class again.
