We celebrated the holiday this week by having a festive community meeting, learning a pumpkin craft from Olivia's family, and making owl masks!
After learning more about what and how owls eat, we dissected owl pellets and used our knowledge and some bone charts to figure out what animal the leftovers came from! We found mouse bones, vole bones, shrew bones, and rat bones!
On Friday, the amazing educators from Chewonki came with their owl friends to help us get up close and personal with these animals we've been studying. We were lucky enough to meet Huntington the Eastern Screech Owl, Byron the Barred Owl, and Sparky the Great Horned Owl.
In writers' workshop, we are wrapping up the publishing of our small moments books. Next week we will share our books with Mrs. Lincoln's class and move on to a new genre!
Homework books from your child's independent reading level have started going home in red folders. When your child finishes reading his or her book, send it back in to swap it out for a new one!
Have a great weekend, and don't forget to set your clocks back!
