A few days ago, my mom canceled our school lessons and instead, sent my brother and sisters and I on a NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT. We took a backpack, camera and snacks and were gone for two hours. This was the list of things we had to find. We had a little trouble with the bird’s nest but we managed to find everything. My mom graded us according to how much we found and how well we cooperated with each other. The prize was a candy bar. For us, that is a big deal because we don’t get candy very often.
