The Ojai Raptor Society paid Ms. Sweet's (8th) and Ms. Fedele's (6th) classes a visit today. Both classes read the book Hoot by Carl Hiassen as part of their Project Based Learning activities. Ms. Sweet's class learned about Endangered Species, picked a local species and then presented their findings during a Gallery Walk that was open to the school last week (see other post). Ms. Fedele's class made a portfolio on their research of endangered animals and made a 30 second ad (on the iPad
or on
poster) using propaganda to support their animal. They will be dissecting and labeling owl pellets as the culminating activity with Ms. Todd. The
presenters Rio and Natalie from Ojai Raptors have what they called a Trust Account with the birds, so they sat very nicely on their arms. They introduced the classes to the following birds:
  |
Newton - a Great Horned Owl
|
 |
| Gavin- a Peregrine Falcon |
 |
Rosie- a Red-Tailed Hawk
|
 |
| Micky - a Mississippi Kite |
  |
| Pixie- a Pygmy Owl |
  |
| Spooky - a Bard Owl |
