Summary
WHAT WE DID:
- Each
student adopted a crane to cheer along
- We read
about cranes
- We wrote
stories and information about cranes
- We wrote to
pen pals in Kentucky, Florida and Texas
- We did
"crane math" (adding, subtracting, graphing, estimating)
- We followed
the migration on a map
- We did art
(pop-up cranes, paper crane hats, paper mache cranes)
- We had an
award ceremony when the cranes reached Florida
HOW WE
HELPED:
- We got our
parents to donate coins to Operation Migration
- A lady
donated a mile of travel expenses in our class' honour
- We helped
convince ExxonMobil to donate some money to Operation
Migration
Mrs.
Black's Note: My students should feel very proud of
themselves! They helped inspire others to give $3,000. (CAD) to
Operation Migration, to fund this year's Ultralight-guided migration.

family members became "craniacs" too!
