Those 1st graders were sooooo cute! At one moment I had three little hands holding mine and it warmed my heart. And I got a lot of little hugs too. My group was really excited and never got bored. I was surprised how they just threw themselves into what we were learning. We turned over a bunch of logs and saw tons of earth worms. And then we got lucky and one girl found a red back salamander. My group also found a ting garter snake under a log.
The only concerns I had from this day was that since the group arrived 15 minutes early it meant for a 2 hour hike which turned out to be really long towards the end and my kids grew really tired and hungry. Maybe there could be other activities that we could do with the whole group in the beginning to split up the 2 hour hike? just a thought.
