Interesting Facts About Owl Pellets

Submitted by julia.murray on

The students in Mrs. Makin's class really tore things apart! They dissected owl pellets and discovered the not so happy endings to some birds and rodents. They had gross fun picking through the pellets to find bones, teeth and other things.  One group found an ankle band from a not so lucky bird! Through research they found that it belonged to a racing pigeon that was on its way to Cedar City. Obviously, that bird did not win the race!

Submitted by julia.murray on

So when you finish your degree and walk out of College that last day, do you ever think you will have to go to another class again?  If you are in the Education field you are always learning and having opportunities to compete.  Art City Elementary School Sixth-grade teachers did just that; they had an opportunity to attend a conference and show off their Engineering skills.  Mr. Gibson, Miss Shumway and Mrs. Bird won the engineering contest at their science training by building the highest tower. Way to go teachers! Rock stars among us!
