We are going to learn how to figure out our latitude and longitude.

We have alot of pine and pecan trees in our schoolyard. This morning at 7:30am CST every tree was full of Robins. The noise was deafining. There were 4 students assigned to each tree. (8 trees) Each group counted the birds that they saw in their tree. We came up with an estimate of 1740 birds. It was amazing. When the school bell rang it scared them and they began to fly. What a sight!! The students' commented on how you couldn't see the sky. They circled and landed on the trees again. It is 9:30 am CST and only a few are left in the trees.
