Third Graders at Oaks School #3 are learning about the
life cycle of the endangered Whooping Crane.
The migration began in October and the chicks needed
to learn life skills by following Robo-Crane.
Each team of students chose a chick to follow and they
kept a journal of the migration.
As the chicks grew, the excitement in our classes grew.
Some students in Mrs. Acker’s class posed with their
chicks.
Students in Mrs. Sharpe’s class measured the size of a
full grown Whooping Crane.
Mrs. Acker’s students created a habitat and a list of
“whooper facts.”
Mrs. Sharpe’s students labeled the Whooping Crane’s
adaptations.
A line graph was created for the miles the birds
traveled each day.
Mrs. Rossberg’s students had fun measuring
themselves against a full grown Whooper.
Mrs. Rossberg’s students are proud of their journals.
The Third Graders collected $550.00 by selling crazy
bird key chains. We bought two and a quarter miles to
help the Whooping Cranes.
We are so happy to be a part of this program and help
to protect this magnificent species.
