FINAL THOUGHTS/REMINDERS
Our visit from the Nature Company was very exciting and a great learning experience. The creatures that we experienced were a chinchilla, a king snake, a bearded dragon, and a walking stick, (it is an insect). We saw baby walking sticks that had just hatched a few days before. The puppet show was also funny and informative.
