Mrs. Anderson's 1st and
2nd Graders |
| We started our research
by contacting the Medicine Lake Wildlife Refuge to find out which owls we have in our
area. Mike Rabengerg told us that the Great Horned Owl lives here year round. The
Long-eared, Short-eared and Burrowing Owls spend the spring and summer months here. The
Snowy Owl migrates here in the winter. We decided to research three of those owls and to
base our reports on "The Important Book" by Margaret Wise Brown. Our teacher
thought the format of the book would help us learn how to write paragraphs. We also drew
lifesize pictures of our owls and displayed them and our reports in the school lunchroom.
We can’t wait for the snow to melt so we can go out exploring and see if we can find
any of these owls as they are nesting.
