PICTURES & NEWS ACCESSING THE CAFETERIA We are about to begin gradually using the cafeteria for some meals again. Here is a 2-minute video explaining the expectations for arriving at, using and leaving the cafeteria. DREAMERS OWL PELLET DISSECTION - DUPONT Ms. Dupont's kindergarteners opened up foil-covered "owl pellets". Tweezers and picks were used to tease apart the dried and sanitized pellets. The pellets are regurgitated after owls eat small prey animals like mice, voles, and birds. The students found bones, beaks, and skulls leading them to wonder just what kind of animals the owls had eaten resulting in their pellet. 3-11-2022. Link to 20 Pictures.  NAVIGATORS BABY OWL ART - LAWYER (SCOTT) Ms. Scott supervised the kindergarteners making baby owl art associated with their study of owls in a variety of ways. Link to 14 Pictures. TROUT UPDATE - ROULEAU The trout are continuing to look healthy and are growing fairly quickly. We are able to see more of the detail in the color patterns now. We are feeding them twice a day at this point which will speed up their growth as well. By the end of May they should be about the size of an adult pinky finger.
