Insect Data Entry

Letter Home

Dear Parents,

We had a very awesome radical week. First we are getting ready for our Biodiversity carnival on Monday that you are all welcome to come to. The carnival will start at 10:25 and last till 11:30. All the classes will be sharing what they have done this year for our project. Today we went to the Badger Mountain ski hill. We took our picture at our photo point and we noticed an amazing difference. Lots of grass and flowers grew in three weeks. We caught tons of bugs like bumblebees and a cricket. Oh and also 56 caterpillars. This week was very busy because we had to finish our Douglas Creek project which came out really cool. You can look at our work at www.douglascreek.blogspot.com . As you can see the week was not boring and very fantastic!

Sincerely,

Your soon to be fourth grader

The trip to Mr. VanWinkle's orchard gave us an opportunity to look at how entomologists use thier skills to help grow organic fruit. We had a wonderful, interesting time.
