Guest Blogger- Part 2

Kinders J and S examine the tail, wing, and talons of a red tail hawk brought to us by Mr. M, an avid outdoorsman and ES teacher in the next classroom. The Kinders have been following the progress of the red tail hawk nest at the Franklin Institute by checking the live camera daily. They have learned the meaning of predator and prey, preening, habitat, down, and camouflage from reading about birds. Also, they have been watching the live camera feed from the barn owl nest in California. Then they discuss the similarities and differences between the two birds. They have made predictions about the hatching of the eggs and the chicks first flight.
