Greetings Earthlings from Bowman, SC
Funny the things you find by wandering off the interstate. Coming home from a fall break weekend on Hilton Head Island, we came across the welcome center after finding a park for our picnic.

Fall Family night
Time to see what Sam and the 4th graders have been up to so far this year. Lots of interesting projects around their work on exploring other cultures and their camping trip near and visit to Cherokee, NC.
Another big part of their work so far has been a study of birds. The bird banding field trip inspired some students to poetry - here is Sam's:
Hawk
Diving to a songbird,
I am almost on bird
heading to the sky,
I am Fierce not shy
Little Birds are yummy,
when there (sic) in my tummy.

Tandem trike
One more critter
An addendum to the summer critter post below.
Nothing like snail slime on your forehead. Is that good for your complexion?

Big Bald Bird Banding
Sam's class made the second of two trips to Big Bald Wednesday to visit the fall migration bird banding station. The research is led by Mr. Mark who did a great job engaging 21 fidgety fourth graders.
The main activity was collecting data on the songbirds that were captured that morning in the mist nets. Each was weighed and measured. The class got up close to Slate colored Juncos, Tennessee Warblers, a Swainson's Thrush. a Downy Woodpecker, Sharpshinned hawks and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
