Owl Pellets - Day 2

On Friday, I showed the students how to dissect an owl pellet. Today, they got the chance to try it for themselves.

Bragging about XtraMath

Kaidynce successful mastered each of the multiplication table facts in under 2 seconds. Woot! This accomplishment is great for a first grade. She is on to division!!!!


What is that?


  It's an owl pellet :-)

Together we dissected a pellet from a Western Barn Owl and we found 5 mouse skulls and all the bones and fur from them.

Next week, students will team up with their own pellets to see what is inside.


Happy Birthday, Destiny!

We celebrated Destiny's birthday with cupcakes, singing, and a Brag Tag. Tyler, Destiny's brother, even came up from the pre-k class to join the celebration.
