Dear Journey North,
Mrs. Swentzel's third grade class from Stanhope (Byram), NJ has been
working on the challenge question. We started to research where the two
mountain ranges are located. Using our geography knowledge, we looked at
our maps to locate the Adirondack Mountains and the Green Mountains. Then
we took a large map and looked at the map scale. We took this scale for
how many miles are represented by one inch. We then divided this into
2,334 miles that was stated "as the crow flies" and found that it would be
approx. 5.7 inches on our map. Which brought us to NY. Next, we talked
about the Red Winged Black Birds and Robins. We compared them to our area
in north western NJ. Since our Birds have been here for almost a month, we
figured that they would be in the NY area by now. We also noticed an area
of water that would draw the birds. The children feel that the valley area
between these ranges is the basic area. "We think it is New York because it
is getting to be 'springy' time, just like we are having here in NJ."
