Day 20 - Alexander Elementary - Jackson, TN


Getting a great close-up look at a living bat star at Alexander Elementary School in Western Tennessee. We got to hold California mussels; we saw a sea squirt squirt; we touched a prickly sea urchin; and we learned how to help stop pollution from getting into the South Fork of the Forked Deer River. (NOTE: Forked is pronounced Fork-y). There's also Muse Lake, Beach Lake and Campbell Lake that we need to help keep clean.

State fish of Tennessee: the channel catfish.

Tomorrow we stay in Jackson to participate in the Earth Day Festival hosted by the Girl Scouts and the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Then it's on to Louisville, KY on Sunday.
