After lunch our Jr Rangers take a half an hour or so to review our mornings work. Storytelling and songs, sometimes poetry are part of the process. Here are a few of the Acrostic poems that came out of yesterday's after lunch discussion.
Marsh
fiddler crab fiddles,fiddles around the marsh to dig,dig out a nice little home
in the sweet Marsh.
A Marsh
is where marsh fiddler crabs fiddle around and flies buzz,buzz,buzz.
Return
to their homes that are holes in the marsh, the marsh fiddler crabs hide from Godzilla
with plastic feet.
Salt
pan is the lowest point in the marsh, where flies lay their eggs and where
marsh fiddler crab waits for a snack.
High
in the sky the fiddler crab fiddles around, and falls down,down,down to be food
for flying monsters

FALCON
Flying high
An amazing bird
Landing gracefully
Caging them is wrong
On and on they go flying in circles
looking for pray
None should kill them
DOGS
Domesticated wolves
Outrageously cute
Got to get one
So adorable
Isobel
FIDDLER CRABS
Fiddling Fiddler crabs fiddle
together
Identify by big or small claws,
which snap prey
Digging their small but long holes
just to get moister so they can breath
Doodling in the sand, we step on them
Liking one and another is not why
they stick together, they together for a less chance of being eaten by
predators
Every day, more are getting born,
more are growing, and more are dying
Remembering them reminds us of
crabs, and crabs remind me of green crabs that we squish
Crazy as we know it, it only has enough
smarts to get by the day
Remaining in their holes, we cannot
find them
A crab is a crab, and all crabs have
something in common
Being out in their habitat they
like, but when captured easily die
Serving is their duty, and they know
it well. Fiddler crabs live on.

CATBIRD
Catbird, catbird flying in
the sky
Another bird comes along
They are both happy together
Both of them are catbirds
I think they are beautiful together
Really cool together
Doing their thing
They are awesome
Sonia
Great sharks
Really big
Eats seals
An aggressive shark
To cool
White on its belly
High on the food chain
On the most aggressive shark list
To wet
Engage with sharks
Some sharks lay eggs
High in protein
Are cool
R predators
Kills animals
