A Reminder

Students have chosen their adventure books for their next book project, "Can A Character." Please look for the directions in their homework folders. The project will be due on Tuesday, Nov. 27, after the Thanksgiving holiday.

***Dissecting Owl Pellets***
Friday morning we dissected owl pellets! Talk about an engaging activity.  We spent the last two weeks learning all about owls. Then, we watched a video about barn owls and where the owl pellets come from. Really...it's just a giant furball....with a few bones in it. When we told the kids that we were going to dissect owl pellets they were a bit grossed out. But the morning of the dissection, all apprehensions disappeared.  The kids were totally excited and engaged.  They used their tools to carefully open their pellet. Then they sorted the bones  they found inside the pellet to see what the owl's prey was.  Check out the pictures below!
