Snowy Owl Report

Rachel worked hard on her nocturnal animal report and visual.  She chose the Snowy Owl because it is her favorite owl.  She learned that the Snowy Owl often hunts during the day because the nights are so short in the Arctic.  I guess that means it's not really nocturnal.  Oh well.  The brown animal next to her owl is a lemming.  We learned that lemmings are the food of choice for a Snowy Owl. We also learned that the male Snowy Owl gives a female Snowy Owl a lemming for a present during mating season.  During the years that there aren't many lemmings, there aren't many owlets either.  Rachel will tell you all about it in her oral report at the bottom of this post.

We had fun with the glow-in-the-dark paint that we found at a craft store.

We painted in my classroom.  I'd rather have the mess in my classroom than in my house.

Erin Joy made an owl and a lemming too.  She was covered with paint by the time she was done painting.

Rachel will tell you all you need to know about Snowy Owls. She has worked hard on her nocturnal animal report.
