OWL BIOLOGISTS

Owl Video

The kids had a great science day being biologists! Last week we read fiction and non-fiction stories about owls. Then watched several videos on owl behavior and habitats, and even saw an owl coughing up a "fur ball." (owl pellet) They've learned a lot of amazing facts about owls.

Today was the culmination of their learning.  They worked in pairs dissecting owl pellets.  They had a diagram to help them sort what they were discovering.  They found skulls and bones from many common owl victims: birds, rodents, shrews, moles.  Check out the pics during our morning of science.

Upcoming International Winterfest Luncheon

Please mark your calendar for Thursday, December 22nd from 11:30 - 12:45.  This is our Annual International Winterfest Luncheon in our classroom.  In December, your child will be learning about a particular country.  To help us celebrate all that they've learned, we will be asking you to send in a food item from that country.  This activity brings parents and students together!  More information will be coming...but please try to arrange your schedule so you can be here for your child on that day.  It will mean a lot to them!
