Highlights of the Week

Examining a tiny owl skull



Emma had us use our hands around our ears as we listened to owl calls so we could see how it magnifies the sound.

We met our tiniest owl visitor, Athena, a saw-whet owl.

The kids enjoyed being able to see owl pellet specimens.

Byron was a big hit.  Emma showed us how fluffy his feathers are by making her finger almost "disappear" in them.


After the talk we had time to explore artifacts.

It was fun to try on the owl vision glasses!


By Friday each student had a written report about owls.

An example of a finished project

This student is hard at work carefully copying a final draft of his report.

We had research packets and took notes on our graphic organizer again.  Lots of good note-taking learning is happening!

We made it a point to soak in some of the extra sunshine this week.  Lots of cheer and happiness on the playground with our wonderful class.
