Annual Turkey Trot - Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

A long standing Parker tradition, the "Turkey Trot" was held this morning. This annual event has been held for at least the past 36 years. Originally, it was held using real, live turkies! It is similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only now it is Pin the Wattle on the Turkey! There are 3 winners, one from each grade. A monetary donation is made in their name to "Turkeys 4 America". In addition, this year's Turkey Trot was used to help promot a food drive for the Reading Food Pantry.

Bird of the Week - Introduction

Welcome to the "Bird of the Week" segment of my science blog. There are 30 different birds that you can find in Reading that I want you to learn this year. Each week, I will post a picture of a different bird and information about it. I will also have a link you can click on so you can learn more information about the bird a well as seeing additional pictures of the bird and hearing its song.We will look for these birds in the Bird Garden where we have set up bird feeders. We will also look for these birds around the school and on field trips we take. I will also expect you to be on the lookout for them in your yard, neighborhood, and your daily travels. At the end of the school year, I would expect that you will know all 30 of these birds.
