Have you ever been on a field trip to a creek before well both third grade classes at Mattison Ave went to the wissahicon watershed. We learned a bunch of stuff at the watershed, for example we learned about baby animals and how they are cared for and we also learned about different animals that live in the wissahicon watershed like muskrats, snakes, foxes, caterpillars, ducks, flying squirrels, and craw fish. Third grade saw the rapid waters and believe me they were rapid waters and the person their told us not to get close to the edge of the water or else we would fall in and get taken away by the water. Third grade also got divided into 6 groups and when we got divided into 6 groups, all the groups went on a scavenger hunt and we had to find things like muskrat holes, paw prints, a decaying log, skat, animal path ways, scratch marks on trees and bugs.

Wow, Lauren. You wrote a very informative description of your field trip. It sounds like you had a great time. Thank you for explaining the meaning of skat and animal pathways.
