Our class garden beds are getting ready for spring in the Garden Classroom.

This week the Ornithology Class was able to observe California Scrub-Jays and Red-winged Blackbirds at our pond and a kettle of Turkey Vultures riding a thermal current in the distance. We used our binoculars to identify feather markings on the birds and listened to their different songs.

A friendly reminder that Wednesday, March 5 is a school day for all K-12 students!
