Owl Pellets

Since Poppy is over, we are switching gears from reading to writing. We are going to become experts about owl pellets. Once we've learned all we can, students will then write an informational piece to teach others what they've learned about owl pellets. Below you'll find some links to sites we've used in our learning.
