STUDENTS EXPERIENCE MIGRATION IN CAPE MAY

Although not directly involved in the Preserving Oases program, 7th Grade students from RM Teitelman School experienced migration in their local community.  Student's from Team 7R visited Cape May Point State Park for an interdisciplinary learning experience.  They were able to experience the power of migration right in their own community and with the help of guest speakers, they were able to identify migrants up close and personal through binoculars and scopes.  Students had a live bird show, an art station, a fishing station, a free writing station, hawk watch station, nature walk, and lighthouse station.  This busy day gave them a wonderful overview of careers and the importance of Cape May along the Atlantic Flyway. The Team has been providing this experience for approximately 7 years.  These students will eventually go to Lower Cape May Regional High School, where students are learning how to interpret weather to predict bird migration.

Here are some of Mrs. Vogelei's students' experiences and impressions.
