We found that cute character who helped us learn!

A few weeks ago I posted about using plush or creative characters to engage students in learning.  What an exciting day for two students who found a real Owl and Fox at a museum field trip destination, after an artist rendition of a fox and owl had carried them through lessons in all subjects throughout the year.  It’s kind of like, “let’s give them something to look for.”  And they found it!  And that struck of up questions of where these real animals live and what they eat and how humans impact their lives.
