Monday Morning

Today is going to be a busy one. We are meeting in the morning after breakfast to learn about Mammal Monitor Science. In the afternoon we are driving to Broad Cove for Field Sign Transect training .

Yesterday I asked you why it got dark so early, around 6 o’clock? Did you talk about the sun,the distance from the equator and the seasons? For more information click here .

Wally has learned a lot about Halifax. Here is a picture of Wally right after he got off the plane. Did you know that Halifax is part of Canada? Why are there maple leaves around the word "Canada" in the picture?



Did you know that Nova Scotia is twice the size of the state of Massachusetts? There is nowhere on the island that you are more than 35 miles from the sea. Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and is halfway between the equator and the north pole. Can you tell me what the words Nova Scotia mean?

I am getting ready to go for a sunrise walk. It feels pretty cool out, jacket weather. I am not sure what the exact temperature is but it is breezy. the thermometer says 45 degrees. What is the temperature difference between St. Petersburg and Halifax?

Everyone have a great day!
