DEC tells Students the Bare Essentials about Bears

Students listen as Jeb talks about
how big bears get!

On March 30th, Jeb McConnell from the Department of Conservation came and talked to students about Bears.  Students in the Bear Essentials Enrichment have been learning about Bears.  The American Black Bear can be found in the woods just outside the school, but students learned about polar bears, grizzlies, and many more.  Jeb showed students a bear skull as well as a bear pelt.  He talked about their habitats, behaviors and what they ate.  He also talked about his job in the DEC.  Thank you Jeb for coming in and talking with our students.



Cool Bear Pelt and Skull!
