Becoming a Junior Ranger - Scavenger Hunt

By:

Our GT students took a trip to Garner State Park in Concan, Texas where the students were going to observe various forms of wildlife in its natural habitat. The students participated in various outdoor activities such as: hiking, breaking rocks in search of geodes and participating in a scavenger hunt with a park ranger, where the students would then become Junior Rangers. The scavenger hunt was the biggest activity for the day. The students were required to located various items, such as: birds, bugs, frogs, nests, scat, etc...

Our group of students ranged from 1st graders - 4th graders. 

Our students first began by reading their list of tasks located in their Junior Ranger Activity Journals.

And the Scavneger Hunt began...

Looking for frogs...

What else do we need to find on our list???

Observing scary bugs...

Is that scat???

Finally, we can all pledge to be responsible Junior Rangers.

Overall, the kids had an amazing time and loved observing all the beauty nature had to offer.
