Pond Ecosystem

All the fish from the courtyard pond have been caught and placed in a temporary home in Room 313. Many thanks to all the students who spent time fishing for them!

Another Successful Rescue

An exciting day in the world of science! An unfortunate collision with the classroom window rendered a little gold finch temporarily stunned and bewildered. A quick rescue, some gentle care and warmth from the 6th graders, and the finch was released back into the wild. We'll see it again at the bird feeders this winter and include it in our Cornell Project FeederWatch Project.
