School of the Wild- Lake Macbride

Today was our all school field trip to the school of the wild at Lake Macbride.  We were so fortunate to have such a beautiful day for our trip!  We looked for animals tracks in the woods, built shelters with logs, visited the raptor center, and tagged a variety of birds.  We were busy learning and having fun from the moment we got there.  What a memorable day!
