  2. “facts and fun with wildlife” Millie Phillips (a.k.a. The Snake Lady) began her program at 4:00 p.m. and ended at 4:30 p.m. This particular program was designed for children that were seven years old or younger. There were only about ten kids at the program when it first began. By the end of the program, twenty children were present. Millie began by introducing herself. She was great with this age group. She engaged the children and made them laugh.

  3. Resources/Manipulatives This picture shows a few of the resources Millie used during her program. You can see the yellow pieces of construction paper that the children used to classify the different resources. The construction paper was labeled chew, gulp, suck, and filter. The children classified each animal/insect by the way they eat.

However, several of the younger children from the previous program wanted to attend. They were allowed to participate as long as their parents assisted them. Twenty-one children attended this program.

  11. Adding Mixture In this photo, the children have combined their ½ cup of plaster with ¼ cup of water and mixed it in the plastic bag. They began pouring the mixture over their track that they imprinted in the sand.

  12. Final Steps After pouring the mixture on the track, the children waited for the track to harden. The children LOVED this activity!
