Owls

Yes, we just started a new Read-A-Loud called:  "Owls in the Family".  It is a great realistic fiction story with lots of facts & fun about owls.  So this is going to be our Science studies for awhile.  As our culminating activity for this unit, we are going to be dissecting owl pellets.  They are safe & sterilized.  Each student is asked to bring in $2 to cover the cost of their individual pellet.  They can bring the $ anytime, but for sure by Thursday, April 30th.  Thank you.  As far as a blog question, ask them why the boys in the book didn't find owl nests close to the crows and what a baby owl is called.  Write the answers in the planner.
Last day of testing tomorrow.  Today we did the ELA performance test.  It had only 4 questions, but they had to read a variety of sources and had to write either a story or a paragraph.  Lots of hard work put into it.  Tomorrow's is going to be the same thing, but it is Math so I am sure students will have to find perimeter & area of garden plots as that was the preparation activity we did today.  So let's finish strong Team Hankins.
Tomorrow is PE so get those shoes here.
Have a great night.
