Community Project Update

Sorry it's been so long between posts! Life has a habit of getting in the way of my blogging. I have been working on my community project, though. My AP Environmental Science class and I met with our urban forester Michael Nentwich at Comanche Lookout Park near Madison at the end of February. We identified numerous trees and woody shrubs, while Mr. Nentwich gave us some interesting background information and we took copious notes. After Spring Break, my APES class and I returned to the park to decide where best to place the listening stations. My next task is to speak to our wood shop teacher again and get information on where to buy the wood for them to make the listening station posts. Then my APES students will be tasked to write scripts. I hope to finish before the end of school but we have so much to accomplish: TAKS testing, AP testing, general end-of-year craziness. I'll post a few photos from our last Comanche park visit. Enjoy!
