Animals Visiting at Common Ground during "Animal Jam" Week!

Our Third Week at Camp is ANIMAL JAM!

And we have had so much fun so far! On Monday, we discussed the differences between amphibians and reptiles and created our own favorite animals out of egg cartons! On Tuesday we prepped for animal paper mache masks and played “predators vs. prey” game relays. We will be making Bird Paper Airplanes, laughing through marsupial games, and hunting spooooky cryptids in the woods!

Our local fauna must want to join us… because they have been coming to visit in droves!

We have baby birds currently nesting at the back of our center… we are being very careful not to disturb them, but it is so hard not to peek at Common Ground’s tiniest babies residing just outside the HUMAN baby room!

We also had the Common Five-Lined Blue-Tailed SKINK come RIGHT INTO THE SCHOOL!! Were they hoping to join the camp? Maybe… but we didn’t have a big enough shirt for them. Maybe next year, little skink…

All of our favorite little mammals throughout the center have been enjoying water-play in the bright sunshine!

Share your favorite animal facts here! The more we know about our friends, the more able we are to share this world with them.
