Cold...So Cold...
We were back at Cook's Lake today and it was cold and wet! It rained from the minute we woke up to the minute we got back to our home base Cherry Hill.
Yesterday was awful weather too and I was less than prepared - boots did not keep the water out! Today, however, I took precautions despite the horrible weather (see our video on Mr. Pembroke's YouTube page: Mr. Wignall Fights the Hurricane) and I wore my "Wellies" (rubber boots) and was able to ward off walking with water in my shoes for a couple hours. The temptation to stomp in the puddles was too much and my paranoia of ticks was so great that I tucked my pants leg
s into my boots to cut them off from crawling up my legs. Temptation and paranoia meant that I was soaked to my toes in a couple hours! I was SO ready to get those boots off when we got in the van that I couldn't wait for the 40-minute ride to be over...my feet needed to breathe! Mrs. Tang had a lot of issues with my feet being near her but I couldn't help myself! Do you have any questions for her? Post them in your comments and I'll have her videotape a response. She was a great sport - great questions only!Regardless of the dreariness of the day my trapping team was still able to nab a couple voles! Yes! This was actually our first captures of the entire expedition - the last team to capture anything...
Did you know that today is Earth Day? What does Earth Day mean? Just another holiday we don't get a day off from school, right? Wrong!!!!!! Mr. Wignall, Mr. Pembroke and I shot an Earth Day spoof - check it out. If you met someone who really thought this way how would persuade them to think differently? (hint: think like a scientist and an essayist)

Earth Day is a day to celebrate the Earth, and show that you care for the Earth. Almost everybody in the class wore green, Sally, Smiley, Duck, Ms. Schmidt, and me, picked up trash on the school grounds. You wouldn't believe how much trash there was!
What did you do for Earth Day?
Earth Day, celebrated in the US on April 22, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year. This date is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
On April 22 me, Jaclyn and a few other kids (Including Ms. Schmidt) went out and picked up one and a half bags of trash around the school. (GROSS!!)
Dilly helped clean the school woods on earth day. Over half the grade helped by cleaning the woods. Cyrus helped clean up the classroom floor and put papers in the recycling bin on earth day. Endymion and Dilly helped recycle aluminum cans for the school can drive that started last friday right before our first telecomfrence. We all agree that earth day means that we all pitch in to help the envirement by recycling, cleaning up garbage and consirving energy. We would like to know what did the earthwatch team do for earth day?
earth days meaning is
earth day reminds us of that we all share the same planet this means we all take pride and responsibilty in our planet for what we use and try to solve environmentl changes in the planet.
Hi Mr.Gasteazoro! Today is my birthday!
I have a question for Mrs. Tang: Do Mr.Gasteazoro's feet smell?
How many voles did you catch???
Why catch less when the weather is cold?
Heart-a thinks
That people don't like to go outside when the weather is cold, so I think that has to do with why they don't come out when the weather is cold.
Bone and B-dub think
That animals have no reason to be out because their food would be soaked and/or dead so there would be no food for them, so there is no reason to be outside.
Question for Ms. Tang:
What do you think about Mr. Gasteazoro's feet? Why do you not like them?
P.S. We will try to ask these directly to her blog.
What did you find out about the voles you just caught? What do they tell you?
i think that the meaning of earth is that we give earth a break and be thankful for what the earth has done for us.Also to follow the three r's .And on earth day i picked up trash and turned off my lights.
