Today we did a video conference with the International Wolf Center.
It was a really fun and good opportunity to have. We did the video conference for more than an hour.We got to see live wolves napping. (Ask your child why the wolves were so tired.) They showed videos of how wolf pups grow in their first year. We had an assignment during the conference and we got to design a wolf den. We learned about how big a den should be, that they could be above or below ground, and sometimes they even take a dried up beaver dam for their den. We learned about what the pups look like. Baby wolves are dark brown for blending in and their eyes are blue when they are born but they turn golden or yellow when they get older.
We got to ask lots of questions like:
How fast can they run?
How good are they at catching their prey?
How many wolves are in the whole world?
Do they eat Bison?
What is the biggest animal they can catch?
If you want to know the answer to these and many more questions you should ask your child.
Enjoy the pictures!!!!!
Jackie loved the video conference about the wolves! Thanks for all the pictures and for the great job you are doing this year with all the 3rd graders!!!
