What is inside an Owl Pellet?
Today The Gingerbread Man sent us a storybook about owls and a special package. It was an owl pellet. We looked inside the owl pellet. We looked at all sorts of bones that were found in owl pellets. We used the magnifying glass and the microscope to look closely at the bones and find out what animals they came from. We drew the bones in our nature book. We played a math game called Zap. We had to say the number we saw. If we pulled out a zap we had to put our cards back in. We are bringing home a little book. The popcorn words we talked about is: see.
