Belchertown Biodiversity Project Teams






                                                     hmmmmm is that another 2 owl pellets?!!

BPS Teachers are working hard getting ready to take students outside this coming school year.  Teachers braved rain in June, sticky heat in July and pesky bugs in August.  (Thanks to Ms. O'Rourke for lending her photogenic kids!)   The Belchertown Biodiversity team teachers are busy planning schoolyard experiences and field trips to Lake Wallace.  Mr. Clark (SRE 1st) and Mr. Monroe(BHS), Mrs. Butler (CSS K) and Mrs O’Rourke (JBMS), and Mr. Greene (CHCS 6th) and Ms. Scudere(BHS) started partnering on designing the best possible trips for BPS students.  Students across grade levels will be learning to identify our native trees and conduct measuring and mapping exercises.  The wide array of pond organisms living in Lake Wallace and in bodies of water on school grounds will provide lots of opportunity for observation and monitoring as we move through the seasons.  More on this as the school year gets under way.
