Fourth grade students from East Elementary School in Waukon took a field trip Wednesday, September 30 to Waukon City Park where Ross Geerdes, Allamakee County Conservation Naturalist, led students in a series of activities designed to enhance lessons already being taught in the classroom. In the first activity of the day, entitled “Oh Deer!” (part of which is pictured above), students learned about how habitat and the predator/prey relationship affect the population of deer. Students pictured above were representing the habitat needs for wildlife, including shelter (hands peaked over their heads), food (hands held against their stomachs) and water (hand held to their mouth), and were selected by other students representing the deer population until no longer available in an effort to provide further learning impact for the activity.
