Check It Out

We all enjoy being outside and experiencing the world around us. Animals, birds, and bugs normally live outside. They each have their own natural habitat. There are creatures that live near our homes. Go for a walk around your yard. Ask your parents to take you on a walk or hike. Did you see anything unusual? If you are fortunate enough to visit a zoo, look for some of the unique animals featured in this issue.

You don’t have to use just your eyes to experience nature up close. Try using only your ears. Make your own observations from where you live. Go out and just listen. Try this in the early morning and evening. The sounds will be much different from what you might hear in the middle of the day.

Whether you leave on foot from your home or take a trip in the car, keep a journal. Tell us what you saw and send us a photo. We will publish it in a future issue.
