We're Off to Work!

After being in the comfortable beds and the yummy breakfasts, we did not want to return to the bunkhouse, but the work needed to continue. We packed up our bags and we traveled back to the swamp at the Pearl River.

After the past 2 days, the caterpillars needed to be changed, checked for changes, and given fresh food. I was sent into the swamp to find more food for the caterpillars. We have over 300 caterpillars to feed and take care of. That is a lot of work! I felt like I was exploring a hidden rainforest with all of the trees, plants, and water. I wonder if this is how the early explores felt.

After we gave the caterpillars lunch, we snacked and took off for the forest/swamp to search for more caterpillars. We are so tired today, I think even our old squeaky bunk beds will be comfortable. I cannot wait to chat with my students back at Fernbrook tomorrow morning. I hope they are earning homework passes. I’ll have to check soon!
