The grade 6’s braved the rain yesterday for a great afternoon trip to the Kortright Centre for Conservation. Students learned about some of Ontario’s invasive species (like the Emerald Ash Borer), how scientists classify organisms (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species), Ontario’s turtle and snake population (and were able to pet a snake!), and the importance of biodiversity to our world. The grade 6 teachers are appreciative of the students’ flexibility in dealing with the rain and their respectful and positive attitude throughout the trip.
