Crane Study

by Alexis and Mark W.

Cranes have very long necks. They are endangered in many places. They have their own crane dance. They are also the tallest birds that fly. Many live in water but don't have webbed feet.

We did a multiplication crane dance with our threes and fours. Mrs. Jordan showed us how to do it.

by Demetrius

I think the crane is very strange even though I never met one. Human beings are nothing like cranes. They do a special dance. They bow heads, flap wings and run. Cranes are special to people.

by Gloria, Britni and La Ronda

Cranes' feet are not webbed. They fly with their necks out. Many other birds fly with their necks in. They also do a crazy crane dance.

by Kristian

Cranes are endangered. They have been hunted. If we don't help them, they will die. That is why we need to help. Many cranes are captive.and many eat fish.

by Gian, Carlos and Courtney

Cranes are birds with long necks. They stretch their necks when they fly. They are different from other birds. They are like dinosaurs because they have been on earth for millions of years. They need water, wet land and green land too.
