Nature's Classroom-  Day 2

 The Ultimate Challenge.  Students learned what it would be like to not have use of their thumbs; their thumbs were taped down.  The students were then asked to try and peel and orange.

 This proved to be very challenging!

 Next students were asked to try to draw a picture of a house using their feet.

 Again this was VERY challenging!

 Another activity some students enjoyed today was candle making.

Students passed the time playing "I will bring..." until they could add the next layer.
