Friday: Sign search

Raven draws a checklist in the notebook.

"Tracks, holes, nibbles," she reads.

"Let us find them all!" Rocket says.

Nova says, "Slow feet find more signs."

How to search

A sign search is a slow walk.

You look for clues, not animals.

Look down at the ground.

Look at low leaves.

Look at the base of trees.

Mark each sign you find.
