No Bones about it...we loved learning about animal skulls!









We had a great visit from Mr. Benenati. He is a science teacher at another school (and Cascade's dad!) but he came to school to teach us about animal skulls. He has a collection and brought a few to our class to share with us. We became very interested in parts of skeletons a few weeks ago when we explored owl pellets(regurgitated matter) and found the actual bones from mice and other small rodents! It was very cool! Ask us about the skulls that we saw...the picture about shows me holding a (stuffed!) owl and the skull of a Great Horned Owl! Thank you Mr. Benenati!
