During class we had several exciting specimens brought in on top of Bill Witherspoon coming in and talking all about rocks!
Barbra brought in a leech that we suspect got into her pond via bird legs, perhaps a great blue heron that is a common visitor to her house, or via turtles. She also brought in quite a sizeable crawfish. Jesse brought in what Mr. Al thought was a banded water snake. Ian brought in a house centipede.
Bill had a really fun activity that taught us about the most common rocks you might find around out region. He also took us on a rock walk outside to show us the different exhibits that we often walk past on the way into ENWYC. Check out the pictures!!
