Thursday Aug. 7th

We woke up to the regular breakfast of burnt toast, yogurt, and cereal. The only difference is that Mary was teaching yoga to Madelynn, Sadie, and Marie. After the yoga we walked down to the classroom for a lesson on woody plants or trees by Jerry Krueger. He took us down to the canoe dock to take tree samples. 2 out of 3 tools to take the tree samples clogged. One was because of Sadie's tree. The other was Patrick's tree. We then walked back to the classroom to unclog the tools. Next was lunch. It was the very appetizing sandwiches. We are getting tired of sandwiches. We then had Prairie mammals with Laura Dixon (or "LD"). We caught three 13 line ground squirrels, and 1 deer mouse. We checked the gender of the ground squirrel before letting it go. The funny part of having the ground squirrel in the cage is it kept running into the sides. We then went to check on the turtle trap which looked like it was broken by a muskrat. We then dissected owl pellets. Then we had free time for 2 hours and like usual we worked on our projects. Next we had dinner of Spaghetti and Garlic bread. We also discovered that Brenden and Bryant had poison ivy. We then worked on our projects again and on our web page until 9. Then the three girls that had yoga in the morning will do yoga again. We will then go to bed at 11sh. Good night and farewell.
