Naturalist!

What an excellent naturalist in residence lesson we had yesterday! We learned about amphibians and reptiles! We learned that reptiles are covered with scales and amphibians have soft permeable skin. 

We started with a herp hunt (herps are what we call amphibians and reptiles together). 

Look what we found! 

Then we went back to the class and got to see and touch some real reptiles and amphibians! 

We started with looking at and touching a ball python and a gopher snake! The kids were way braver than me!

A snakeskin!

Next, we got to see the turtle!

Finally, we got to see an American bullfrog, a tree frog, and a newt!
