The Regala Raiders put up a strong defense, but it was not enough...  Coach KFC and K-Rad did an amazing job organizing the teams and motivating them to do their best and have FUN!  Thanks to everyone who participated and enjoyed the true meaning the the Shoda Challenges!!

Killer Whale Tales 2019

Today, we took part in the “Killer Whale Tales” assembly, which was engaging, fun, interactive and so very informative for our 5th graders!  Students (and teachers) learned about the Southern Resident Orca pods, J, K, and L, who live primarily in Puget Sound.  Students learned about these fascinating creatures.  Sadly, we also learned about why there are only about 78 orcas left in Puget Sound.  Hopefully, today’s learning will promote a newfound curiosity about the whales and pure respect for these incredible creatures.  In addition, we hope that your families engage in meaningful discussions about how you can make changes at home so that our orca whales in the Puget Sound have cleaner water, more salmon to feast on, and a better survival rate in the future.  The situation is dire, mainly because of the things we do in our homes/yards and in our communities.  Your child will be coming home with a worksheet, “Helping Orcas at your home”, which can be filled out over the break.  This learning connects to the Pacific Marine Research field trip in April.

Some questions to ask your child to learn more about today’s assembly:

1. How do orca whales communicate?
2. Name two things that threaten the lives of orcas in Puget Sound.
3. How does eating organic food actually help Puget Sound and the marine habitat of the orca whales?
4. How can you distinguish a male orca from a female orca?
5. Where is the most common place to see an orca whale in Puget Sound?
6. What is echolocation?
7. How big do male orca whales grow to be?

Thank you to Curriculum Enhancement (and our 5th grade CE reps) for helping organize this incredible opportunity!  

 

Nightzookeeper Progress! Keep on writing!!!
