HOOT HOOT!

Thank you Suzanne and Steph for a great 4 Winds lesson on Owls.  Students heard a puppet show and learned about an owl's adaptations - how it uses it's eyes, ears, and digestive system to help it survive.  The children learned how owls eat and how they have two stomachs - one to break food down and the other to store the fur and bones from their prey - which gets regurgitated.  All students had a chance to dissect this owl pellet and figure out what bones belonged to what prey (rodents, birds, etc).  The children also enjoyed watching a slideshow and hearing different owl's sounds.  INQUIRE with your child what owl they found the most interesting and why. Do they remember the sound this owl made?
