The kids had so much fun.  Thank you to everyone for helping out with the party and the "candy store".  We couldn't have done it without you!

Owl Pellets

Last Thursday we dissected sterilized owl pellets in class from barn owls.  The kids loved it!  There was definitely some apprehension before we started, but once they dug in they were hooked.  It was so great to see how excited they were when finding bones and identifying which animal they may have belonged to.

Halloween

Our party at school on Thursday was tons of fun!  Thank you so much for all the help from parents that made it possible.  Here are some pictures of the party.
