Humbug Mountain State Park

Today our presentation was on animal tracks.  We had 32 in attendance.  Monte had pictures of 14 different animals and the type of track they leave.  He told a few facts about each animal. 

I had created a match-up that had a column with the names of the animals and across the page was a column with the pictures of the animals. The children had to draw a line to connect the correct picture with its name.

I had also created a tracking guide that had pictures of the tracks with a line next to it.  The kids had to write the name of the animal on the line next to the picture.

            When I created the guide it was with a group of up to 10 kids in mind because it is a little confusing and I knew the kids were going to need help to complete it.  So it was a little chaotic having so many kids in attendance.  Luckily a few parents stayed and helped with the younger kids.

            After lunch I spent a couple of hours getting tomorrow’s kit arranged and prepping part of the craft we are going to do.  It is another difficult craft and I hope to save time by doing part of the craft in advance.
