Changes…
KZE students went on another forest walk this Wednesday. They noticed many changes along the way:
Amie: “More nets around the trees.”
Alex: “Last time, the beaver’s den was long and there were flowers around it. But now there was only snow, no flowers around it.”
Gabi: “Last time there was no sand on the ground. But this time, there were sand on the ground. They put sand on the ground so that you won’t fall down because of the snow.”
Ada: “There were no ducks in the pond. I wondered where the ducks went.”
Altai: “The ducks went to the other pond because the other pond was not frozen.”
Alexandra: “We saw more snow and ice. But last time we saw lots of grass and flowers.”
Julia: “Last time, we saw many big leaves on the trees. But this time, we saw very little leaves.”
Veronika: “I noticed that there were ducks in the big pond and there were no ducks in the little pond.”
Nick: “I noticed that there was little bit ice in the big pond. But the whole little pond was frozen. The ducks can’t live in there. They went out.”
Soeun: “There are lots of snow on the ground. It was cold.”
Seok: “This time there was ice in the water.”
Tomasz: “I noticed that there were flowers last time. But we didn’t see any flowers this time.”
In response to Ada’s question of “where the ducks went?” and Altai and Nick’s answers, KZE students continued their discussion:
Alexandra: “They flew down south. So they can stay in a warmer lake.”
Gabi: “All the ducks go to the bigger pond. Because there are still some water in the bigger pond.”
Mrs. Zurfluh: “What will happen if the bigger pond froze too?”
Julia: “They will go to the ones that are not frozen.”
Veronika: “They will fly to a warmer place.”
Alex: “They flew from the small pond to the big pond. When all the ponds in Moscow are frozen, they will fly to a hot place like Spain, or Dominican Republic.”
Amie: “Or India, or Australia.”
Altai: “If all the ponds are frozen in the whole world, the ducks will crack the ice with their beaks.”
Ada: “I disagreed. Because not all the ponds in the world will be frozen.”
Tomasz: “I agreed with Ada.”
We will continue to observe the forest and record as many changes as we noticed.
