Today, think of some things that start with the letter S that could be the focus of a nature investigation where you live.

Here are some examples:
stars, snail, seasons, things that are squishy or small

• Go outside, look around and choose one of the things from your list.

• Spend some time sketching pictures of your letter S item in your nature journal.

• On your journal page, make sure to include location information. WHERE did you find it?

• Include some timing information. What season is it? What time of day?

Here’s an example: A shiny star sparkles above the sea on a hot summer night. 

•If you can, add some of the actual items into your journal (like a small shiny shell glued to a page of your journal).
