Field Trip to Qurum Park

Last Wednesday, all the 1st grade classes went to the Qurum Park Nature Sanctuary for a birdwatching excursion. We were so fortunate to have TAISM parent and bird expert, Mr. Ross Macfadyen to accompany us and share his knowledge about birds. Our little scientists noticed many different kinds of birds and their habitat in the park. We spotted white-cheeked bulbuls, great white egrets, house sparrows, mynahs, a dove and an eagle. The children were so excited about seeing each one of them and made careful observations and sketches. A big thank you again to Mr. Ross Macfadyen, as well as Ms. Kelly Gilreath and Ms. Karen Gates, our parent-volunteers who helped us out that day! We had a wonderful time.
