Chiggy Cheer

Kids doing the Chiggy Cheer at Walden West. (Kiwi and Red Tail are in the picture -2008.)

The Newts, We Love Them!

... and we want 'em to stay!


Here's a newt we found in the woods.


And a movie:

I love the way they move! (Also notice that a child asks me what my real name is near the end.)

Goofy picture of me

Why is my mouth gaping open? Must have been singing the "Ya-ya" chorus to "Lump of Dirt." Yes, this was used in the slide show.

Exploring the Pond at Walden West

They are helping to remove invasive duck weed from the pond, and clearly enjoying their time at science camp.


These students are fishing around in the pond with their nets to see what kind of critters they might catch for closer examination. I love the way the sunlight shines through the reeds.

Now we're making some conclusions about the health of the pond based on the aquatic animals we found.
