tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12288465031492250312011-08-10T22:14:49.053-07:00This blog is for my students. Please submit your book reviews, field trip reports, creative or expository writing projects, announcements, etc. You can send out invitations for the group or let everyone know about something neat going on in town. Autobiographies would be great too (but no full names for privacy reasons). I'd love for you to submit videos of dance and musical performances.XOXOXOXOnoreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228846503149225031.post-3496807390325784222009-05-21T22:59:00.000-07:002009-05-21T23:01:30.738-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hAk-ukZLy5g/ShY_ngYJcoI/AAAAAAAAABQ/r28XRDlw09M/s1600-h/endofyearatthepark.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 208px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hAk-ukZLy5g/ShY_ngYJcoI/AAAAAAAAABQ/r28XRDlw09M/s400/endofyearatthepark.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338524356232966786" /></a><br />Everyone came to the park and had great food.

We went on a small wetlands hike and saw a Bald Eagle as well as ducks, black birds, northern shovelers, and other small birds. We went on a drive and saw another Bald Eagle, lots of hawks, a peregrine falcon, colored black birds, a meadow lark, squirrels, jack rabbits, and deer, a northern harrier, a northern flicker, a downy woodpecker, a seagull, a burrowing owl, lots of snow geese, and white fronted geese, and canadian geese, and two ravens. It was a lot of fun!
