We read some owl stories last week; both fiction and nonfiction.
Owl Moon by Jane Yolen is a beautiful lesson of HOPE.
The children enjoyed bringing Owl Moon to life
painting their own interpretation of the cover.
It was almost magical watching what happened when
the blue paint met in the middle with the white paint.
We got to use real feathers to make a paper bag owl.
We discovered that even the slightest movement of air
sent the feathers floating around our classroom.
It's fun to make a crafty project once in awhile.
We loved hiding our paper bag owls in the
branches of our little wooden tree.
Storytime STREAM
(science , technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics)
brings our read alouds to life.
The challenge this past week in owl land,
was to build a nest that would support and hold an owl.
Testing it out was so much fun!!
What would literacy learning be,
without learning songs and poems?
Creating our own owl tree was even more exciting.
Whoo! Whoo!
Through our investigations in nonfiction books,
we learned that owls are active all winter long.
Some do migrate to milder climates, but most endure
the winters and are more easily spotted in the
bare branches of the trees during the winter months.
Keep in mind... when you go owling, you have to be quiet!!
