Disney Postcards

Walt Disney Postcards

     Who is your favorite Disney character?  That is what the third graders were asked during reading class a couple weeks ago.  Each student had the opportunity to pick their favorite Disney character and write a letter to them!  They told them about themselves and why they are their favorite character!

     It is with much excitement that all the 3rd graders received a post card from Disney!  Along with the individual postcard we received a letter from Mickey Mouse for the class!  Mickey's letter said, "Hi ya, Pals!  Oh, Boy thanks for all the swell letter.  It was so nice of you to think of me and my pals.  Minnie and I were just talking about how lucky we are to have such special friends like you!  Gosh, I hope you are having a great time in school... I bet you are learning some really exciting things.  The gang and I are looking forward to seeing you real soon!  You Pal, Mickey Mouse!"

Bald Eagles

The 3rd grade class has been watching the Decorah Eagles via a live video stream for about a month!  We checked on them everyday to make sure mom and dad were still sitting on the eggs!

A little history about this pair of eagles in Decorah, Iowa.  They have been observing this pair of eagles since the winter of 2007/2008.  She lays 3 eggs every year. The nest is about 4 foot wide by 4 food long and is about 3 foot deep!  The mother is 30% larger than the male!  The 3rd grade class can now the difference the female and the male eagle!  Most of the time we can tell by the eyes of the two birds!  The male has a black circle around his eyes!
