Editing, Owls, and Dancing Pigs!

The Falcons have been practicing their owl calls just like in the book Owl Moon!  The Barred Owl call is always a favorite, as it sounds as if the bird is calling "Who cooks for you?  Who cooks for you allllllll?".  Here is our version for your enjoyment!


> We've also been learning about the owl life cycle.  Students made and illustrated life cycle wheels to share their knowledge with you!

In Writers' Workshop, each student has picked one small moments story to edit and turn into a published book.  Students edited for conventions on their own, and then met with an adult to work on 'book spelling'.  Everyone is now making a final draft copy with marker drawings to be published and put in our classroom library for all to read and enjoy!

Rowe School was lucky enough to have author David Rottenberg and the Maine State Ballet come and perform Mr. Rottenberg's book, Gwendolyn the Graceful Pig on Thursday afternoon!  It was a beautiful performance with a great message.  Learn more about the story here!
