 October Coulee Walk

We had a fantastic trip to the coulee today! It was so beautiful to see the leaves falling off the trees and spend some time in nature. We spotted a downy woodpecker, chickadees, birds' nests, and some larch trees. We also spent some time with Blackfoot Elder Saa'kokoto. He talked to us about some of the berries we might see in the coulee right now. We also learned the Blackfoot word for rose hips: gee-nee. We sketched, ate a snack, and played a game called Camouflage. It was a wonderful morning! When we got back to school, we listened to some of Saa'kokoto's stories. The students chose one story to make some puppets for and are excited to retell the story for you tonight.

 Pond Dip We had an amazing adventure down to Two-Toed pond on Monday afternoon. We didn't catch quite as many bugs as I had hoped but we still found some great little critters. Students had a chance to take on the role of entomologists and used their "isolation chambers," magnifying glasses, and identification sheet to help them learn about these aquatic bugs. We also practiced environmental stewardship by leaving nothing behind, treading lightly, and returning all our catches to the pond. Some of the aquatic creatures we found were damselfly larvae, minnows, backswimmers, boatmen, and a few other critters we haven't identified.
