Interesting enough, last year Predator Masters supported the activities in my public school classroom 100%.
I had some pelts donated by some PM members and did an entire math lesson on measuring. Then we used maps of the USA and tracked where the coyotes came from. The results of the lesson I included in a thread and posted many great pictures. Several moderators and influential people in the predator calling industry left positive comments.
nmleon- Great job, those kids are LEARNING.
Weasel-UT- The kids look like they are really into it. Good going!
All Predator Calls- Great job. I hope your hands on approach to teaching rubs off on the faculty.. Bet these kids will remember this project for many years.
Tim Lewis (soreloser)-Good for you, good for the kids and an outstanding job as always by the PM members.
Having lived in AZ and my wife being in school teacher in AZ for a number of years I can completely relate with what you have done for these kids.
Toy Tebbe- I've been waiting for this post Scott. One of the best posts I've read in a long time.
Very cool of you and those who donated!
jimanaz- Wish I could think of something snappy to say....think I might be speechless. What an outstanding job by the contributors and the educator.
CoyoteDoc1- Great work Hyper, just curious, after all that measuring and work the kids put in, where was the biggest coyote from? The smallest?
Redfrog- Wow! you guys really know how to support the youngsters. Hyperwx, let me know how many more you need and Predator Masters will get them to you.
Funny to think that NEA has ANYTHING to do with what I teach in my classroom. I am a conservative pro-gun pro-hunting fun teacher that took my class plus 2 other classes + 20 adult volunteers to Bass Pro Shops last year for a field trip where they did a giant math activity on desert survival and spending money. I have a full cheetah pelt rug on my classroom wall along with a beautiful jaguar pelt taken in Mexico.
You can cry all day about public schools and how corrupt and liberal they are but all this flies in the face of what am showing you here.
