  Schoolyard Safari and Pond Habitat Search (including Student's Naturalist Journal)
Students will search for animals living in the schoolyard, especially animals from a pond habitat, if possible, and describe aspects of their habitat and how the schoolyard provides for their needs.
Around the schoolyard, they'll find plenty of signs of "people life." While most students enjoy looking for animals, some may be afraid of certain animals like spiders or worms.
