teamcarnes, and T40, I just know these were experiences that will remain in the children's' memory forever.  What great opportunities for them!

[tulsaducati]

Teamcarnes once again, this is amazing. You are such a blessing for your students, to include in their education the wonderful world of raptors.

Oxford students adopt bald eagles (Nice story! These kids and their teacher worked hard.)

We had fun hatching baby chickens in class.  We recorded inherited traits, instincts, and learned behaviors.  My fifth graders then waited patiently for the eaglets to hatch!  After watching them for a few weeks we compared and contrasted the baby chickens and eaglets using Venn diagrams.  The kids used their information to write paragraphs.  This was one writing assignment where I heard excitement instead of moans and groans!  They loved it!!!

gadeb - love the chicken/eagle assignment!  What a great way to learn about 2 different species!  Thanks for sharing this with us.

We had such a great time as guest moderators yesterday! I was fortunate enough to teach all five classes of fifth grade science, so 141 students were treated to the eagles.  My homeroom class were the lucky ones who were the guest mods! It has been an amazing year and the kids have enjoyed our eagles!  Notice the eagles above us on the wall.  This is how we watched the eagles on a daily basis.  If something great was happening (food, PS, parent switch while incubating), we would stop everything, turn off the lights and enjoy! 

[jfrancl]

gadeb, I can't tell you how wonderful I think that is!  I am so glad you and the students enjoyed yourselves. I know we had a blast!  Thank you for accepting our invite!

[Faith]

What a great looking class you there, gabeb!  We enjoyed your visit very much.

[glogdog]

gadeb - great photo of the Guest Mods!  Thank you for sharing this.  They were wonderful and thanks for touching the lives of all of your students.  Wow! 141 Science students!  Love the eagles on the wall too!

[gadeb]

I knew I would not have time to tell my kids from last year all about ATF when they stopped by during open house, so I made a display board they could look at.  I had about 40 kids from last year stop by, while meeting my new kids for this year!  The display was a big hit with my old kids and new kids!  I believe I will keep it up for awhile - it makes me happy, lol. 

Thanks to teamcarnes, glogdog, and eaglesrock for letting me use some of their photos.  I did not take many photos while at ATF - too busy taking it all in!

[tulsaducati]

Deb - beautiful display of After the Fledge! All your students are so lucky to have a teacher who shares the world of nature with them.
