Agribition

Four classrooms in Springfield were provided the opportunity to attend Agribition 2018. After a month filled with learning the students were certainly ready to participate in a hands on field trip. We were fortunate to have many parent volunteers to make the day an enormous success. The children came home with many new experiences that they were ready to share. The education program fee was graciously covered by LEDCOR Group and busing was funded by our decentralized budget! 

Owl Pellets

Last week, we learned about owls! We learned that owls are birds of prey. That means that they hunt the animals that they eat. After an owl eats small rodents, & birds its stomach cannot digest the fur, bones, teeth & feathers. These extra parts are formed into a tight pellet inside the owl. Later, these parts are spit up! We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to dissect owl pellets. It was pretty neat! Each student was given a pellet, tweezers, a bone chart & a magnifying glass. We found mouse bones, skulls and feathers!
