Student Johannes Troost brought along a resource book on trees to share with the class. And student Mary Scheidt brought in her cyanotype print showing the different life-stages of the California Poppy.

Today’s class activities included our “Coyote CSI”; challenge. Students were presented with the skeleton of a young coyote and asked to determine how the coyote had died.
