The long story short: one day my mom woke up to find that we had a new addition to our family. My Italian grandfather had many ideas himself, my Dad was in awe and my sister couldn't believe her eyes.
Our concern was that this mom lost her nesting place and we could only imagine why. We tried so hard not to bother her, but eventually this mom didn't come back for her babies...and they never hatched.
This is sad story because nature couldn't complete its course...but it also teaches us an amazing lesson about our connection to nature and the environment. Every mother only wants to protect her child(ren)...
I decided to post this thought because I am going to be teaching my grade 4s a lesson relating to habitats. I can only hope that they, as the next generations, are taught to respect this earth as not just their own.

What a great little, big story :)
I'm glad you posted it, and more glad that you are teaching this in your class. All too often we get so wrapped up in our own lives that we forget that we are part of a much bigger picture and a larger plan. We all have stories like this one but fail to mention it or simply forget about it because it doesn't seem 'important'; its nice to see someone taking the time out of there busy life to appreicate and even take a picture like you did.
