Reifel Bird Sanctuary Trip Tomorrow!

IMPORTANT: Tomorrow we are going to Reifel Bird Sanctuary! Please be here at 8:50 AM on time for school so we can get organized and load on to the bus. You will need to bring:

• Rain Jacket
• Warm clothes in layers, in case it is cold or gets warm while you walk.
• Waterproof shoes (boots, hikers, etc.)
• Disposable snack and lunch. (no eating of snacks on the bus or on the trails, so we will snack when we get there)
• A small pack (not your regular backpack, though, and nothing too heavy) to carry anything you bring.
• Camera or binoculars

When we arrive, we will have snack and then go in for a 20 minute session inside the museum area they have there, so they can talk about migration of birds and the sanctuary. Afterwards, we will be walking around with a guide. Before we leave, we will have lunch. We should be back by 1PM for music and the rest of our day.

Remember, the birds and animals are in the sanctuary because it is a protected place.  You need to keep your voices down, not run around, and be quiet in order to fully enjoy the space. We talked about exploration and observation. Please use your listening and visual skills to get the most out of our walk together. Take some photos, but also spend time feeding the birds and just enjoying the walk. And listen to our guide, because he or she works at the sanctuary, and they are usually very good at spotting wildlife for you!

Go read some of the articles on The Reifel Bird Sanctuary Site

Also, if you have not turned in your PE lesson or Game Instructions, please finish them and bring to school tomorrow. Any work sent home, please bring it back signed as soon as possible.

Thank you and see you tomorrow morning!!
