This week we listened to two great books!! The fiction one, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, made the kids giggle. They thought an owl being afraid of the day was the most hilarious thing! haha Then we read the non-fiction book, Owls, and they LOVED that book... I think the class loves hearing facts. :) Not to mention the Author, Gail Gibbons, does the best job of writing books that just grab everyone's attention!! She is amazing! Here is a link to her webpage that tells all the title's of the books she's written.
We did a lot of testing this week, but I tried to add a little FUN in when I could. :) So we got crafty!!
Here is the breakdown of how we made The World's CUTEST Owls. :)
On Tuesday, the students colored the background for their pictures~ the night sky was gray and the day time sky was blue.On Wednesday, the students had their handprints done with Ms. Godbold~ brown for Elf owls and white for the Snowy Owls.
On Thursday, I made all of the tree trunks/ branches and our 5th grade helpers glued them.
Today... Ms. Godbold glued on the "facial discs" (mini muffin cups) and the googly eyes. Then the students made their beaks, feet, leaves and either a moon or sun.
