We did not expect that Ms. Mitchell would recommend that we pump all of the water out of the pond! We used the water vacuum and we also used nets and buckets. We reused the water from the pond and watered the plants in our habitat. We researched ways to clean our pond and what kind of fish can live in a backyard pond. We decided we needed nets and a pond vacuum to clean the pond. We wrote a letter to Ms. Mitchell, our garden teacher, to borrow fishnets and a pond vacuum.
We used three criteria to choose our project. We wanted to: go outside, do something to help, and inform others. Cleaning the pond was a project that we could do all three.
We did a schoolyard checklist and found some things we wanted to change. One issue is that our pond was getting dirty, to the point where it is not suitable for fish. Also, we saw that there was a lot of trash inside and outside of our school, which isn’t good at all. We also wanted to get more people to ride bikes or walk to school.
Four Mile Run Park Visits We went to a visit to four mile run park,we saw many animals and plant there many kids take this path to cora kelly school for math,science, and technology. About the Habitat
Our habitat is a special place at Cora Kelly. Here are some things to know about the habitat. The Animals We see some animals in our habitat. There are at least five turtles, some birds and squirrels. There used to be fish but they died because our pond wasn’t healthy and it was cold outside. The Plants There are a bunch of different types of plants in our habitat. An example of plants in our habitat are tulips. The plants in our habitat are really beautiful. The Pond The pond in our habitat isn’t really clean or healthy. In fact, it's full of dead leaves and mulch. We are working to clean our pond and take care of it. |
