~  Silent Walk  ~

I went on a silent walk with the class and, while walking, I heard a lot of different sounds.  In the woods, the sticks under my feet crackled like a fire in a fireplace.  The paths that were in the woods were like a huge gateway to exploration and opportunity.  The thorns on the thornbushes poked me like the great sting of a bumblebee!!!  The colors of the leaves on the trees were as beautiful and colorful as a rainbow.  The large sticks that had fallen over on a stream were like huge bridges over a river.  The sound of running water was as lovely as a newborn child.  And, last, but not least, the songs from the birds were as beautiful as music from a musicbox!
