Today the Nature Conservancy Came to Lakewood School
Today the Nature Conservancy came to our school to teach us about the Manitoba prairie and the animals and insects that live there. Here are some of the things that we learned.
A bird's bones are hollow, which helps it to fly. (Ashton)
A beaver's teeth are orange. This orange color helps to make their teeth strong. (Miguel)
Beavers use their tails as dinner plates and their tails help them to swim. (Lincoln)
I learned the life cycle of the butterfly. (Kaitlyn)
I learned that after the female butterfly lays its eggs, it dies. (Kyra)
Monarch butterflies eat milkweed, and other animals know not to eat the monarch because monarch butterflies and their caterpillars are poisonous. (Autumn)
Butterflies can live up to 8 months. (Alec)
After the presentation, students had the opportunity to touch some of the animal skins and bones. Thank you, Cathy for coming out to Lakewood School to teach the grade 2/3 students about animals and insects on the Manitoba prairies. It was a wonderful presentation!
