This hawk has been around for a couple years now. Here's a short video. It had just swooped something in front of the school then landed on the light pole. So cool.

1st two periods put the plants we've been growing in the classroom since early March outside today. Over 200 common milkweeds, butterfly weeds, and wild perennial lupines. Hundreds more to go. #MortonPride

Just your typical Monday morning biology class. Today's lesson: take care of the planet 🌎.

Did you know that plantain is a host plant for many different species of butterflies? Do you have it growing in... https://t.co/oKErNlbika

Just a way that you can help hummingbirds! Can't wait to try this.

1st signs of spring migration 2018! Migrating #monarchbutterflies departing & reported north of winter sanctuaries. #phenology #citsci #STEM https://t.co/0qSOqMsrAM

[Monarch Pollinators @MonarchPollina1]

Hummingbirds are another pollinator that we are are trying to attract in our new garden. Hummingbirds have such tiny feet that they can't walk or hop, just perch and shuffle. This allows them to be lighter for efficient flying. #hummingbird #mortonpride

[Monarch Pollinators @MonarchPollina1]

Our mathematician, scientist, and engineer are working hard to finish up the garden layout. We all love how our garden is turning out to be. #MortonPride #Engineers #scientists #mathematics. Thanks to everyone for following our journey.

I hope people are listening to the interviews of the students in Parkland, Florida. I also hope more young people start to stand up and let their voices be heard because these kids are giving some powerful perspectives that people in power need to hear. #ParklandShooting
