Bird Olympics with Whales!
/The Whales tried their hand at being birds today. We discovered that birds have many special talents (adaptations) that help them survive in their environment. We spent time trying to “fly” as fast as an American Kestrel, stare for as long as a Great Horned Owl, stand on one foot for as long as a Great Blue Heron and flap our wings as fast as an Anna’s Hummingbird. We were exhausted at the end of the Olympics and decided that our bird friends would definitely win a gold medal for their adaptation sport!
We’re continuing to work on our research papers for our wetland birds. We’re learning so many cool things. Ask your Whale to share one fact they’ve learned about their bird with you.
We also worked hard on our Mother’s Day gifts. They turned out beautifully and we were so excited to put our final coat of glaze on during a visit to the Pacific Art Studio. We felt like real artists! A big thank you to Pacific professor Ms. Meghan!
