Guest Speaker: Ms. Maya the Wildlife Expert (By J.A. and L.M)

For our Sharing the Planet (Animal) unit in February, a wildlife expert named Ms. Maya came to our class and she taught us about a turtle with a location system attached to her back. Her name is Dawn and wildlife experts found her in the waters of Panama. She even migrated past Cuba to eat food that is…JELLYFISH!!! Can you believe it? You can see her migration map at this link:

Ms. Maya also taught us about animal instincts. It was a fun presentation because at the end she gave us animal stickers!
