Spring is in the air, and we know what that means….. new
life. First graders have really enjoyed immersing themselves in our
science objectives of food chains, interdependency, life cycles, and how
animals resemble their parents. During our nature walk we discovered a
mother Killdeer bird protecting it’s nest of 4 eggs on the ground.
The mother was flapping her wings and screeching at us. We realized
that she saw us as a predator and she was only trying to protect her
eggs. This lead to a great discussion on food chains. We
learned that the incubation period is between 24-28 days so, we are hoping to
see some new life in the next week or so.
