A Sad Day

Today we had a sad day - we had to say goodbye to Angel because she and her family are moving. We will miss Angel very much, and we know that it can be a little bit scary to start at a new school. So to help her get off to a great start we sent her on her way with a Compliments Car Wash. Angel walked between two lines, and each student complimented her on something positive she added to her classroom. I don't think Angel is going to have any trouble making new friends because almost everybody said she was a good friend who followed the Code of Conduct.

After we had our car wash, we got one last picture of The Bair's Den with Angel. Angel, even though you are moving away, you will always be part of our family! We will miss you!

Lentic and Lotic

We did a project about lentic and lotic water.

The Lentic Lotic Experiment

We went outside to see if the ponds were lentic or lotic.we saw the first body of water it was moving but we new it was healthy because plants growing in the river. Then we saw the next body of water. It was flat it did not move plants were growing out of the pond.it was lotic. Are hypothesis was correct.We have a healthy water system because we saw a blue haren.

                       We learn that we have lotic water at bear creek and it is very healthy and we know that because lots of birds and animals live there. We got to go outside and see are water systems and the animals that live in it. Are hypothesis was  right  because we said that we have lentic and lotic water and we do have lentic and lotic.



   

Lentic and Lotic

We are going to be telling you about Lentic and Lotic water systems. Lentic is calm water and Lotic is wavy water. How we know that it is we went outside and saw it in are stream and pond at are school. We have both lentic and lotic water systems. We saw inside of animals habitats. We want to know what a brook, stream and creeks are different. The water is healthy because it has food for animals. We saw algae in the water.

Our mini field trip outside!

We went outside to find lotic ponds and lentic systems in science class, so we went  out side and we looked around. We found a lotic water system and we had lotic.
  We seen a great blue heron, It was in the pond eating algae from the outside of the pond.
   then we went to find a lentic water system we looked around and we seen a lentic system. We also saw a few habitats. It was a duck habitat, which was a pond, same as a lentic water system. Our hypothesis was that we had lentic and lotic water systems at Bear Creek. From our proof and our pictures our hypothesis was correct. Since there is algae growing on the side of the pond and we saw a great blue heron that tells us that our systems are healthy.   

Our Lentic and Lotic Field Trip

     Bear Creek is a safe environment. There is clean water and Bear Creek normally has lentic waters but in one section there was lotic water. we saw mini waterfalls. We saw the water move because of the wind. It has tons of wildlife. We also saw ducks diving for fish in the pond. We saw the great blue heron standing on algae. We also saw places for animals too live during the Winter. Our hypothesis was correct, there are lentic and lotic water systems at Bear Creek. I think when the wind is active its lotic, but when its not active it lentic.

     We learned many things about nature and how some waters are lentic and lotic. The water is healthy because, animals and fish live in them.
   
     When we did this we went into the habitats of many animals on school property.
