Planning for Justice
Tuesday, May 18, 2021
Today we had 2 guest speakers come meet with us. These woman, Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Jane, together planned an event last summer in honor and memory of George Floyd. They answered questions and gave us suggestions. They will be at the event and will help us publicize!
(Jade's mom is in the picture as well. She's been essential in our planning!)

Owl Pellets
May 5, 2021
Each student investigated a mystery object…an owl pellet! Students dissected the pellets (which had been sanitized) and discovered the skeletons of various prey. This activity was interesting, fun, and a tad disgusting – but in a good way! (...and yes, students did wash their hands afterwards!) A video slide show is below, and all of the individulaized pictures are below that. Enjoy!
