Bonduel Elementary School
Do you know what mammal faints when it is scared? Third-graders at Bonduel Elementary found out. It is an opossum! That is just one fact they learned when Navarino Nature Center came into their classrooms for a field trip on Wisconsin mammals. Naturalist Tim Ewing and assistant Jackie Wilber brought in furs from the squirrel, rodent, weasel, cat and dog families, just to name a few. Students guessed the animal families and whether each animal was a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. Besides the opossum fainting, the students learned some other great facts, such as opossum babies, when they are born, are hairless and can fit in a soup spoon; a skunk will stomp its feet when it is warning you to move away; you need a type of acid to get rid of skunk spray; fishers will push or move porcupines off tree branches and then eat them when they fall to the ground; and cottontail rabbit families can make lots of babies. Besides the Wisconsin mammal discussion, students also made a mold of a Wisconsin mammal paw print. The third-grade teachers and their students would like to thank the Crawford Family Foundation for sponsoring the scholarship for this classroom field trip.
