Teacher Ideas

Not a freebie but a free idea that is not new.
In cleaning out my closet I found these two oldies but goodies.
I am going to clean them up and fix them up over the summer and bring them back.
The first is my reading coat made from a lab jacket.  I have some "fresh" ideas for it.



This is an old teachers tool belt I created.  Went to Walmart and picked up some new ones and I am going to get creative over the summer




Night Sighting...

For any of you following my owl story here is a picture of mama in her new nesting house watching over here babies.
Here eyes are glowing.  If you blow it up you can see her  head.
She is so cute.  I'd love to peek in but I think she may not appreciate it.

Mama and her owlets!

This is such an amazing story!  We were having two huge dead trees removed when they found a Screech Owl's nest with 4 precious babies.  They asked what we wanted done.  We called Nature's Nursery who came and removed the babies and brought a nesting box which we hung.  We waited anxiously for mama to return and yep...she is back and caring for her wee little ones.
Nesting box.

Nest found in tree.  Notice mama had a robin in there to feed the little ones.  They are they cotton balls you see there.

One of the little babies.


Here they are in a little basket warm used until mama returned.

There were four all together.
