When the teacher's dad asked her what was new in her life during a phonecall she told her dad about the blog, the novel study with the students from Roseville, MI., he told her he could save the caribou hoof so everyone could see what it looked like up close...in a virtual way!
Neat! Where did you get the leg? Are your students using this blog to answer these questions?
ReplyDeleteThought I wrote a comment but it isn't there. Anyway your blog is pretty cool. I like the pictures of the ungulate. Is it an elk?
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteMy dad got a caribou hindquarter from a friend in Wollaston Lake. I begged him to save the hoof and its now in my freezer. It was perfect timing for our novel as caribou is a staple of the wolves' diet.
My school doesn't have regular access to school computers to add to our blog. And the ROseville students didn't get permisstion to access our blog from school so the students email the answers or assign, to each teacher and we load it from our laptops( when we have time!!)
