A Fun Return

Help me give my students owl pellets for a dissection, and materials for classroom beautification.

My Students

My students are growing fifth graders with a lot of curiosity to satisfy. They enter the classrooms early each morning ready to grow into educated adults that are able to make a big difference.

I would like to purchase materials to decorate the outside decks of the trailers that 5th grade is placed in to make it a more welcoming environment, as well as to complete an owl pellet dissection.

These items will be used on the deck of the outdoor trailer classrooms to beautify the space and make school a more inviting place to be and to complete a dissection when we return to school.

My Project

When my students return to school soon, we would like to welcome them back with a beautification project for the outdoor space our classroom is in, as well as a fun ecosystems project for our science unit. Students will get to dissect owl pellets to learn more about food chains in our ecosystem. They will also get to plant seeds to watch them grow and discover more about the natural flora around us. Both of these projects will be a fun return for learners, and the beautification of our classroom area can be enjoyed by students for years to come!
