When we came back from big buddies we read a story called Salmon Forest, by David Suzuki. It was too cold to go outside today but we wanted to continue our environmental science work anyways. The story talked about how important the salmon run is to the forests on the west coast and how everything is connected. After the story we watched some videos about the salmon run, about how grizzly bears catch salmon, and about how humans have impacted the salmon on some rivers by building dams.
After that we continued working on our posters about human impacts in the Whispering Woods. We finished our posters by adding on the pictures we took in the Whispering Woods, showing the location of the pictures with string, and adding our writing about the problems with the human impacts.
At recess, we got hot chocolate, even though it was too cold to go outside today. We sure are lucky!!
At the end of our day we got to watch the first part of the movie The Lorax. We decided to watch it because it is a movie that is about environmental science and human impacts.
Please remember that we are going on our field trip to the Glenbow Museum on Monday. The museum has requested that we only bring lunch bags as they do not have enough space to store our backpacks. Please remember to arrive on-time for school so that we can leave promptly and arrive on-time for our programs.
