Prairie Racerunner

 
The 6th graders are studying about organisms in the chordate phylum.  Mrs. Nelson along with two friends were able to capture a prairie racerunner at a local shooting range.  It was a guest in the classroom for a few days while the students observed it.  We were unsure of its identification until we posted a photo of it on a website called iNaturalist.org.  Someone responded with the name and link to further our study of it.  We are sad to have to release it back into the wild, but very thankful to have a few days with it.  And, thankful to God for creating such wonderful, amazing creatures for us to enjoy and wonder about!!
