Welcome+Mrs.+Remick's+and+Ms.+Chaplin's+classes

Ms.Chaplin's 5th Grade Class and Mrs. Remick's 3rd Grade Class have been working together to learn all about owls. This page is designed to help them continue to learn and to post their research results for others to see.

In January, the Cherwonki Foundation of Maine visited Congin Library and brought us their Maine Owl Program..

Cherwonki Programs

Students in Ms. Chaplin's and Mrs. Remick's classes enjoyed seeing live owls including the Barred Owl, Great Horned Owl, and Screech Owl and the tiny Saw-whet Owl. They saw a slide shows to learn about the habitat and identifiying characteristics of owl and they got to hear the beautiful, unique calls of of each owl. Students got to see talons, wings, and skulls and explore the adaptations of these silent nocturnal hunters.

After the program, the students each got to open an owl pellet to see if they could determine what owls eat.
