Owls

We Want to Know
-if the little owls really know how to fly
-why they are here on earth
-maybe I have saw an owl and I might see one if I did not see one, they might look cool, I might recognize it, or I might not
-how do they talk
-how do they say their sound

What We Did

Poem
"There Was An Owl"
http://www.101kidz.com/poems/birds1.html
There was an owl
Who lived in an oak.
The more he heard,
The less he spoke;
The less he spoke,
The more he heard-
We all should be
Like that wise old bird


Writing
question words: who (owl sound), what, when, where, why
Ezra read and wrote them

Math, Cutting, and Coloring
Identify the shapes of the owl cut out. Color, cut and assemble the owl.


Owl (needs hand cut outs)

Print This
Print the bottom two images and get a blank piece of paper to trace the kids hands and add them as wings.


Story
"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" Amazon mp3 download, we chose this because of owl in the stories. It's really cute. It has a lot of classic Pooh Bear stories and songs.


We Learned
Snow Owls- male hunts, they catch their food with their claws, they are the bird of prey that can live in the Arctic year round, they can fly well at 6 weeks old

  1. Ash- I'm so inspired. I've been having such a hard time reaching Nora. She just doesn't want to learn (so I thought). Now I know it's all in the way I approach it. I love your posts. thanks for taking the time to share.
