Tree hole habitats
Lesson Outline
We talked a bit about Google Earth and took a geography quiz together. Since I was remote from home too, we introduced our pets to one another, and then continuing from last week's discussion of tree holes and squirrels, we looked and read through the short blog posted on National Geographic here: https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2015/12/23/when-endangered-lemurs-need-a-home-this-is-what-you-build/
Jonathan is an A++ reader!
He asked a very good question about how many lemurs live in the boxes. Although usually we only see mother baby pairs or an individual, we have one box with two occupants. This is surprising because the critically endangered Nosy Be Sportive Lemur is normally solitary, sleeping alone by day and foraging for leaves alone at night. Next session will work on sharing my screen so Jonathan can see some results that came in today about the current 'tenants' of the nesting-boxes.
Jonathan was enganged to see who is on my team in Madagascar and asked who actually built the boxes, and then was happy to see a photo of my team on a second blog, which we will read in our next session. He started reading that blog and asked great questions about a primate artifact at The Walters Art Gallery (museum in Baltimore, MD) and then we ran out of time. Brilliant young Explorer!

Lesson Comments
very interactive using both computer and iPad, links etc.
Before today's session, I downloaded the Microsoft Teams App for MacBook and the call and video quality was flawless, much better quality than using Teams within any web browser. We also found out that the family has FB messenger and Kids messenger, that could be used later on for remote teaching from Madagascar as a backup to MS Teams.
