Curious me: I would not have thought spiders would still be out and hunting. This predator was sitting in a newly spun web waiting for prey. It's 51 F outside!

Busy Week!

I haven't posted in a while as the days start to blend together as we get into the school year. It was great to meet all your parents at Open House on Tuesday.

Sixth graders - you did a great job on the webquests about ecosystems this week. I was most proud of your behavior when we went out in the field today exploring the various ecosystems right on campus. If the weather holds out we'll go back out Tuesday and explore the stream valley and take another look at the forest ecosystem too. Meanwhile, just go outside your house and explore a bit to see what interesting populations you find.

Remember to do the vocabulary crossword puzzle to study for the quiz next week.

Eighth graders - We'll finish the SSB (sugar sweetened beverage) project on Tuesday and don't forget the quiz on Solutions. We'll have to work in the Density Challenge as well.

This little bird visited my yard this week, so I had it pose on my hand for a few pictures. I haven't been able to ID it yet though - some kind of sparrow but my bird book isn't very detailed. Can anyone help me ID this bird?
