Beth Canarie’s Backyard Wildlife Hunt

The New School’s Food and Sustainability Teacher, Beth Canarie, has invited all of us to go on a special wildlife hunt.

It may surprise you to know how many creatures are in your very own backyard. Many of them are small, so you’ll need to take a very close look. When you walk outside in your backyard today, look carefully between the leaves or grass or between rocks and bricks. Also take a long look at the trees and bushes. What animals do you notice?

See it you can find some of these wildlife critters:

  • spider
  • dragonfly
  • ant
  • butterfly
  • caterpillar
  • beetle
  • ladybug
  • earthworm

If you’d like, your family can take some pictures of what you see on your backyard wildlife hunt and send it to Ann.B and she will share them on our school’s Facebook page.
