Highlights of the Week

Shopping at the annual BOOK SWAP

We each chose 5 books for summer reading!

A fun game in PE on Thursday

Working to publish final bird reports

This student is using an image of a bird on his computer to draw a careful, detailed illustration

Many drafts of practice and step-by-step drawing tools helped us create our quality bird drawings.

Kyle from Chewonki showed us how a screech owl blends in with a tree

We loved the chance to compare the weights and size of Maine owls.

Kyle shared many artifacts related to owls.

We got to feel a lot of feathers and checked them our for their noise capacity.


Kyle showed us how an owls' feathers are crafted for silence, unlike some noisier birds of prey.

The saw-whet owl was a big hit with second graders.

Looking at owl bones

The kids were enthralled with the barred owl!

Students asked great questions about the rehab work with the injured owls.



Those talons are sharp!


Watching a 4th grader perform at the annual Wax Museum

Mrs. Pols found a former student - reporting as Rachel Carson!

Students were quite independent with researching the bird they chose for their final project.

Reports and careful drawings came out great!

The final drawings will be scanned and placed on our bookmarks!
