Peregrine Falcons on our bridge!!

Article posted May 15, 2009 at 02:15 PM GMT0 • comment (13) • Reads 428

Hey biodiversity kids!
Did you know that there is a family of peregrine falcons on the bridge?! That is so exciting, to see an endangered species coming back! There is currently a mom and dad and two babies. Soon they will try to fly - that is their most dangerous time, since they could fall and be roadkill.

Should we take a walk down to see them?

Share your thoughts with the class!

Tale of despereaux and Ms.Olivito!!

Article posted May 8, 2009 at 02:11 PM GMT0 • comment (5) • Reads 308

Hi class,
Ms.Shanks embarrassed herself yesterday by screaming well, like a girl at a wee mouse!!

Despereaux came to join the conversation between Ms.Olivito and Ms.Neblett and myself. After I screamed, he ran off into a hole in the floor at the base of the doorway. He scurried most professionally, so he must have learned something from his brother Furlough!! lol

What would you have done??
