owl pellet dissection, spell lists and switch

Yesterday was the owl pellet dissection.... ask your kids their thoughts about how this went!

Also... if you're a friend on Facebook.... you have probably seen the pictures of the owl pellet dissection and of the snowy owl I took a picture of on the way home yesterday. Due to the polar vortex shift... many more snowy owls have moved farther south for the winter.  As you're driving about.... keep an eye on telephone poles and power lines... with the snow so deep the owls often take a roadside perch waiting for squirrels and other rodents by the roadside.

My facebook page is pretty student oriented and always "clean" .  You're more than welcome to send a friend request to tiffany laskowsky sadowski. That way I can tag your kiddos pics as I post them doing different things in the room or on field trips.

Starting Monday, students will no longer be receiving an unequal amount of science, math and social studies.  Instead, all students are being separated into three groups, and will have 50 minutes of each class daily. Switch times will be as follows:

switch 1 - 9:50 - 10:40
