President's Day Weekend
Thanks so much to Nicole for coming with us to Balch Creek on Tuesday! Although some of the students wished they were back at school reading History Alive :) , I had a great time and we all enjoyed seeing Balch Creek raging through Lower Macleay Park. Click here to see pictures of students identifying winter twigs, cowering in the 'stone castle' for a bite to eat, and looking at physical features of Balch.
