  1. I heard birds chirping overhead, bees hummed in the air. I smelled the fresh cut grass around me, trees and flowers surrounded me. Bugs crawled silently in the grass, trees stood tall and strong and flowers swayed gently in the wind.

  3. When I was outside I heard cars passing, birds chirping, and the sound of my neighbors wind chime from my front yard. Outside smelled of flowers and fresh air. Outside sights were mostly life such as: trees, flowers, grass, bushes, and weeds. I also saw mail boxes and pumpkins on front porches. There were more, but these are the less obvious ones, anyway that's what I saw from my front yard.

  4. I hear birds chirping in tree.I see trees growing tall around me.I also see bees flying by.when I go through the forest, I wonder what animals are near.I know that animals are all around us,but some don't know.some animals and insect are deadly, and some are not,but no matter what we should be careful.And that is what I have to say about ecosystems.

  13. In my backyard, my dad was grilling our dinner. I could hear birds chirping and kids were playing. We also saw spiders in lots of webs attached to our trees and plants.
    I also saw a ladybug in one of my mom’s flowerpots. There was another one sitting on the house.
    On our walk, we heard dogs barking and someone bouncing a basketball. Then we saw a rabbit. He was a tannish-brown rabbit that was eating grass in somebody’s yard.

  20. I saw birds flying all over the place! I heard an airplane passing by. There were crickets chirping and there were kids screaming and yelling. It felt very hot because I was sitting directly in the sun. It was sunny but I couldn`t see any one playing outside but I heard kids yelling so I know some people were. It smelled fresh and felt like you could sit outside all night!

  23. In my backyard I heard lots of noises, smelled lots of smells, and saw lots of plants, animals and things in the sky. The thing I found most interesting was noises. The noises I heard were the wind, a bird chirp, a frog, a garage door, foot steps, a dog bark, a car, a fire engine, and last but not least faint cricket. Also, I saw a spider, ivy, grass, stars, trees, roses, and sprouts. Lastly, I smelled the fresh cold air.-Jacqueline

  28. I sat in the forest and heard the birds chirping, the bugs buzzing, and the woodpeckers pecking. I smelled what the fresh bark dust smells like when my dad puts it down. There was a light breeze that was a little cool. I looked up and saw the green of the trees above me and a squirrel hopping from branch to branch. I could hear the freeway in the distance.
