Coyote Spotted at Begbie

BREAKING NEWS!!!

On Tuesday, January 22nd, the students were all abuzz at school because a coyote was spotted not once, but twice, on our school grounds in the morning.

Our Roving Reporters were given a mission:  to work as an entire news team to get the latest information on the situation.  Children were split into 3 groups.  Each group was responsible for getting the “scoop” regarding this very unusual circumstance.

One group – the second graders – focused their attention on what is a coyote.  Like all good reporters, they investigated and researched heavily (using online sources on our iPads) to find out valuable information about the animal in question.

Another group was responsible for reporting to the general public what exactly happened yesterday:

  • Who saw the coyote first?
  • What time did the coyote come to our school?
  • Who dealt with the coyote?
  • Where was the coyote?

Our final group worked on finding out what people ought to do if or when a coyote is nearby.  They had the essential task of providing information to readers for the purpose of public safety.

The BEGBIE BUZZ News Team was absolutely invested in wanting to write.

They wanted you to know about the coyote situation at Begbie because they wanted you to be informed.  They wanted you to know what to do should you ever meet a coyote.

Reporting for BEGBIE BUZZ NEWS, we are Division 11.  Good night.  🙂
