Friday, the Last Blog....but there will be a Saturday Blog.....of course. Check it out at home.

This is me with a trap that was supposed to catch mammals but instead caught a slug. Yippee.

Hi there Wells Fargo Skyway! Thanks for the comment! I'm assuming that's you Jacky, but hello to all of you in the office! I'm having a wonderful experience and am so happy to have had this opportunity. Thank you again and very much for sending me off on this worldly adventure! Evidently there are many classrooms enjoying my blog and several Skyping with me, so many kids are able to enjoy the environmental connections.

As for any new songs? I have written a new one! It's called "The Future of our Planet is in Your Hands" Can you think of some of the things I sing about ? I'll sing it at home.

Here are some trapping items. Can you tell what they are designed to catch? We're in Nova Scotia and this isn't too far from Maine. Just thought that might help.



Flat Stanley came along! Mrs. Metz was tired of cold weather though! Miss Beeman brought him and Mrs. Metz was helping her while she was scruffing her vole that she caught. You just never know where Flat Stanley will show up.


Mr. Wolfe caught a vole today! We actually caught quite a few.
It turns out that the data shows that there has been a drop in the vole/mouse population in the last couple of years. Dr. Newman went over the statistics in class tonight after dinner. Basically, he used much of the statistics that we've used in our own class at home to calculate the number of vole, mice, and deer in the area. In a nutshell, he added up the numbers, divided by how many there were, and got the answer. Soooooo, what is the name of that number? Come on, think about statistics and the number that represent the measures of central tendency. What's the name of the one when you add up the data and divide by the number there are?

Alright now, I have a couple of new videos. Again, if you can't see them, feel free to go to youtube and search for ppembroke. You'll find them there.

Mrs. Tang and I were feeling a bit homesick in the forest. Our traps weren't catching anything and we felt that the heavy amount of water limited the amount of rodent activity. Mrs. Tang broke out in song:




Since the afternoon was time to Skype with classrooms, I went on a hike because California time is quite a lot later than the other areas. I went alone to the waterfront, and spent time thinking. This video is just a fraction of my thoughts. Enjoy.




Hi there Alyssa! Thanks for the comments. See you soon!

Now, importantly, we are making a video for tomorrow that shouldn't be missed. The trouble is, it won't be posted until tomorrow night. Therefore, you should try to see it this weekend at home. But don't worry too much, if you don't see it, we'll watch it at school.....I know people....I have the inside line, if you know what I mean.

Looking forward to seeing you all in person again....Hope you feel the same! Take care people, and thanks for watching! Mr. Pembroke
