Tin Whistles: Remember to pack the student's tin whistles (labeling them is a plus!) All classes will be doing tin whistle at 9:30am to limit distractions from other classes.
Foundations Presentation Topic: Choose an animal and research facts to share with your class. Discuss it's classification, vertebrate/invertebrate, reproduction, and more from our science work.
Science Projects: Students will be paired up and pulling apart owl pellets to find animal bones. Please be aware that some animal fur may be in the pellets. Students will be provided gloves and masks, but if your student is sensitive to animal fur please keep an eye on them.

CC Timeline Handmotions Video: (All Tutors are using the CC official videos OR the previously used rafikipaka from CC Connected. These two options are slightly different, but many of us have learned the rafikipaka handmotions in the past before CC officially came out with their own handmotion video.)
