When I tell you what happened the other day, you won't believe me. It sounds like a fib. It is something that has never happened before and will probably never happen again. It was amazing!!
I had a first grade class in my room and they were being talkative (that is not the amazing thing). They had to put their heads down because of this (again, not amazing). It was the first day when I was introducing an owl project. We had watched a short video on the owl and were almost ready to start. As I walked to the window side of the room, something outside caught my eye........ An owl flew up into a tree in the school's yard (AMAZING!). I had the whole class get out of their seats and go to the windows. The owl was a bit away, so I had to direct their sight to the spot where he sat. After 10 or 15 minutes of locating it for the kids, it pooped. We were amazed! I wanted him to fly away, so everyone could see him in action. I opened the window and WHOO'ed out at it, hoping to make it look or move. This did not work, so we just continued to observe until he flew away on his own. We were all jumping and cheering. It was an amazing experience. I walked the students back to their class and they were telling everyone we came into contact with that they had seen an owl and it pooped! Yes, it was all true, and it was amazing!!
