Nocturnal Animals

Last week we learned about nocturnal animals and we specifically learned about owls, bats, moths, raccoons, and toads.  Mrs. Marks, our student teacher, had fun teaching the students about nocturnal animals and then the students had a BLAST teaching the rest of the class about the five animals listed above.  To end our nocturnal animal unit, a parent brought in an injured Nighthawk.  We noticed how large its eyes were and a lot of students were able to connect the large eyes with the keen eye sight needed to fly at night.

Taking a close look at the Nighthawk!

Nighthawks blend into the trees easily!

Small beak, but large mouth to catch insects!

Proud of her Nighthawk!
