The Wildlife Academy

AIG WIld Life Academy   

By: Logan K & Caitlin C

Fifth graders in Mrs.Kelsey’s Wildlife Academy are getting their hands dirty and researching wildlife near our school. They set out sardines and corn as bait near a little water trough . They also have a motion sensored camera so they can snap pictures of any animals that go to the bait. They have seen many pictures from the camera and our best customers were  deer and birds. We even had a few human visitors!  They  have spotted many tracks. They meet every Friday.    

 

We have interviewed, Will M , a student in the wildlife academy, Here’s what he said:
