Sunny Beaver Pond!

Week 11: March 23, 2022

It is starting to get a little warmer out and feel like winter is almost behind us. We spent the day exploring and searching Beaver Pond. We found some final peices of ice from the pond that were very thin and fagile. We started to look for critters that might start to come back, we noticed some small minnows swimming and a tadpole or two that over wintered from last year. Some of us took some time to lay in the sun and soack it up. We build some fairy houses, and worked on a dam too.
