Another successful Go See It. The boys really enjoyed seeing the animals and Monique - the tour guide - did an excellent job of explaining everything. The boys got to see a hawk, owl, coyote, raccoon, opposum, and the highlight - a Golden Eagle. If you were not able to make it to the go see it, try to go see this facility, it is really nice and the people we met there were wonderful. Monique touched on a few of topics like - natural resources, conservation, food chain, and endangered species.
Whether you and your Tiger Cub made it to this Go See It or not, please discuss with your cub what is meant by a food chain, what an endangered species is, and what happens if an endangered species is not protected - they go extinct. We are going to try and help the cubs get their Wildlife conservation belt loop. The requirements:
- Explain what natural resources are and why it's important to protect and conserve them.
- Make a poster that shows and explains the food chain. Describe to your den what happens if the food chain becomes broken or damaged.
- Learn about an endangered species. Make a report to your den that includes a picture, how the species came to be endangered, and what is being done to save it.
I plan to work on these requirements in some of the next few meetings.
For all of the Tiger cubs who came to the Go See It, please right a short thank you note, maybe writing or drawing something that was your favorite animal or thing that you learned. Bring them to the next meeting and I will mail them to Monique at the Wildlife Rescue Center. If you were not at the the go see it, the tiger cubs could write a letter to a friend or relative. This will satisfy one of the requirements for our Communicating Belt Loop, which we will also be working on.
