Thank
You!
Karin Liimatta at The Waterford School
(Sandy,
Utah)
Teacher
Karin Liimatta and her third
grade science students have followed the cranes each year since 2005.
"We have migrating Sandhill Cranes here in Utah, but we love the reintroduction
project with whoopers and wish
we could be closer to see the cranes in action!" Meet Ms. Liimatta's
proud and generous third graders and find out what they are doing to
help the young cranes reach Florida!
|
This
year we designed buttons to educate others about the cranes and
to promote our used cell phone drive that helps to raise money
for Operation Migration. This is our used cell
phone collection box. Many of the students have started distributing
smaller cell phone boxes where their parents work to collect more. |
|
Wearing
the buttons in and out of school has given the students a chance
to answer questions and explain the project when people ask about
their buttons. |
|
We
are proud to call ourselves craniacs around here! |
|
Great slogans and great art! |

The
large group size this year allowed all of my students to select
one chick and become that chick's expert. Each student follows
the antics, updates, and migration and reports back to the class
on what's happening with their chick. |
