Tools ready, Onekama's Kindergarten Classes eagerly  await the "What's in an Owl  Pellet?" project.

Science is really fun!

November 14, 1997

"What did you find?" Mr. Kudlack?

 Wow! We see bones

This is more fun than cooking!

James decides that the bone he has found is from a mouse.

 Mrs. Bromley keeps an eye on the ambitious workers. They certainly look very busy.

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Bromley's class and Mr. Kudlack's class have been studying owls. The children have learned owl poems, made owl puppets, painted owls, wrote about owls, and had owl books read to them . The students even got to dissect actual sterilized owl pellets to see first hand what owls like to eat. The students were so excited about what they learned, they wanted to share their new knowledge. The following are direct quotes from the children about what they have learned about owls:

Ryan C: I learned that owls eat tiny birds.

Thomas K: I learned that owls eat mice.

Danny B: I learned they eat moles, birds, and when they are done, they spit out the bones.

Kailani B: I learned that owls don't eat ants, they eat bigger things.

Ashley H: I liked seeing what owls eat; all the skulls and bones.

Jordan Z: I like how they eat small critters.
