Last week was full of excitement!  The Spartanburg Watershed came for a visit with their spotted salamander.  We were able to see and feel a real ostrich egg!  We also saw the skull of a black bear and his claws.  Check out the pictures below. 

Next week, we are looking forward to another fun filled week at OES.  There will be lots of different things going on with Red Ribbon Week.  Our fieldtrip to the zoo is on Wednesday.  Thursday brings the Spartanburg Humane Society out to talk with us and on Friday we have Career Day.  Please remember to dress like your future career.
