Hi, Kids!

A male green anole will attack his image in a mirror because he thinks his reflection is another lizard in his territory!My name is Anolis, and I'm a Green Anole Lizard (Anolis carolinensis). Click my picture to learn more, and roll the mouse over me for some interesting facts!

Welcome to the first chapter of Lessons on the Lake, A Walk in the Woods. In this chapter, we'll learn about watersheds and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Watershed. We'll listen to a story, build a model of a watershed, make maps and maybe even put on a play!

All right? Ready? Let's get started!
