Introduction to Environmental Stewardship
Students had the opportunity to skype with environmental leaders, post to a blog, discuss their carbon footprint, use flip cams and digital cameras, feel a variety of Louisiana animal pelts and see bird beak skulls, vote with Activotes in a flip chart presentation, and collect data from our Coastal Roots plants in a rotational schedule. These activities were to introduce what the "I" means in stewardship. The students had a great time at all stations.

We are being good environmental stewwards by planting new trees to hold back strong wind ,or strong storms.
ReplyDeleteI can not wait until we take the "Coastall Roots" field trip!I want to get dirty! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we did the fake oil spill with the lady from the zoo,she showed us that oil washes up on the coast.
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome expirience for probably every 4th grader!!!I really hope Mrs.Suazo wins!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thoiught it was so awesome all those people came! It was a great experience for everybody including myself. Hopefully those people are going to come when everybody is in fifth grade.
ReplyDeleteBy planting new trees you can stop strong storms.
ReplyDeleteAll the stations during the Environmental Stewardship was so much fun. I got to skype with many people about the enviroment and ask them about how long do they think it will take to clean the oil spill. I also got to do a blog on what small things you can do to save our environment. I had an awesone time doing that lesson.

ReplyDeleteIt was a amasing expirence!I think my favorite part was when the lady form the zoo showed us the types of becks.Also I liked the fake oil spill that she showed us so we would know what hapens.
ReplyDeleteI liked the fake oil spill!
ReplyDeleteIt was so awesome to see fur pelts and skeletons from differnt birds. I thought this was really a good way to learn about the animals we learned about.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed using the activotes for this activity.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this activity.It taught me a lot of cool facts. I think my favorite part was when we got to take pictures.I thought that this was a great experience.

I thought that it was a great experience for our school. All of the labs were so much fun! I hope we get to do them again. If I could chose my favrite lab it would be pretty hard to chose. All of them were very fun. The bird beak lab was so much fun! The animal fur was so soft! I feel sorry for them though. The bird beaks were so cool! I had no clue a pelacons head and beak was big! I love that day!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was awsomee that we got to see those animal pelts. Also that we got to see animal skeletons. Also because we could Skype.
ReplyDeleteI liked the bird beak
ReplyDeleteI liked all the enviromental things we have done so far.
ReplyDeleteI liked the nutria pelts and the hummingbird skeleton
ReplyDeleteI like how we are going to be enviormental stewards.
ReplyDelete"Being enviormental stewards requires lots of work."
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the part when we looked a the different types of fur and skeletons on differnt types of animals.
ReplyDeleteI like the bird beaks and the animal pelts.
ReplyDeleteThe enviornmental stewardship project was very fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part of the project was using the Flip cam. But the best part was geting to make a fake oil spill.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing was to look at bird heads and feel animal skin. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteI liked the day we ate the animal and plant cell.I liked the nucleas.Nucleas=Whopper
ReplyDeleteI liked the part with the bird beak. I wish that I could hold one but not drop it.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way the fur felt because it was so soft.Also,I liked the hummingbird skeleton because it was so small and it felt wierd!!!The thing I liked most was the nutria pelts.
ReplyDeleteIT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!
My favorite part was to see all the animal skin.

I loved the animal fur, but I'm also very sorry for them, too. It was very fun to use the Flip camera and to skype with the people from the zoo and aquarium.I hope we can do this again, but I doubt it will because it was a once - in - a - lifetme opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of all of the activities was getting to skype. I even asked a question about what caused the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico, and they didn't know for sure. Maybe it was caused by people up north using fertilizer ontheir farms, and some of it runs off into the Mississippi River.
ReplyDeleteThese labs were so fun! My favorite thing was the Oil Spill lab.
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing all the birds. It was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really liked using cameras because it was cool being a photographer. It was really fun photographing people at the Oil Spill lab because the pictures really show how much oil is in the water.
ReplyDeleteI think that by doing these enviromentally friendly things now, it will help us do better things later on in life.Earthkeepers and the other things we do will really help keep the world beutiful for all of our decendants!:)
ReplyDeleteI think that being an environmental steward means being loyal to the environment and its residents. I really liked using the Activotes.
ReplyDeleteI loved Earthkeepers. I especially liked magic spots because I got to relax and enjoy the natural world untouched by humans.I wish Earthkeepers could have lasted longer than three days!

I thought the best part was the skyping because I got to talk to someone and discuss how he/she was helping with the Oil Spill.The person was really nice and he/she didn't rush me.It was really FUN!!!I hope we can do it again later on.
ReplyDeleteThis was an amazing expierence because we were getting the chance to feel different kinds of animal fur.But,there were lots of other things besides that.It was cool!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed using the activotes.I also enjoyed using the flip cams. They both had to do with technolgy.
ReplyDeleteI think Earthkeepers is totally beast! I liked the activities and magic spots. The magic spots at school are not as cool as are magic spots at Earthkeepers because the Baritaria has more trees. The best activity was finding a time capsule. I like being an Earthkeeper even though I missed the last day of Earthkeepers because I got sick. Nature rocks the house!
ReplyDeleteIt was really cool.
