Owls Visit the Woods!

Today was a VERY exciting day in Kindergarten!  We enjoyed the snow this morning and even did some sledding outside on the playground.  After snack we were given the chance to visit the woods and met an educator from Shelburne Farms who rescues Owls!  Craig brought 3 different owls: 2 Screech Owls and 1 Barred to visit with us.  We learned that all of these Owls were injured, many by cars, and are not able to be released back into the wild but live very happily in an aviary at Shelburne Farms.  It was a very exciting opportunity that was enjoyed by all.  This afternoon we read the book White Owl, Barn Owl by Nicola Davies and learned more interesting facts about owls.
