Due to a request I am posting some pictures from our owl books.
Some of the kids chose to color their pictures and some of them chose to leave them black and white.
I told the littles that it was up to them. However, {NO Haters, please } I did tell them that since this
was a Nonfiction book the owls had to be realistic. NO PURPLE OWLS, thank you very much. 😉
They did a BEAUTIFUL job on their illustrations if I do say so myself.
One thing I usually do when we are doing this type of book is to show them HOW to draw using their shapes. I am no artist by any means but you can draw almost anything if you use your shapes!
This is an anchor chart we made to illustrate the meaning of the phrase, night owl.
I found the COOLEST video of a Great Grey Owl on YouTube.
Click on the owl to view a really cool video of a Great Grey Owl hunting.
If you don’t have access to Youtube at school you can save videos to your thumbdrive by going to www.keepvid.com and entering in the link to the video. Easy Peasy!
I have to give a huge shout out to some of my AMAZING friends!
TPT has not only been a blessing to me financially it has also brought some wonderful ladies into my life.
After spending hundreds of hours (yes, that is probably an accurate number) chit chatting with these ladies
I seriously couldn’t imagine my life without them.
So, I’m a little embarrassed to share this but… y’all are my friends too right?
The girls were teasing me about my recent milestone and they say that I could wipe my hiney
with $100. bills! Ha! {The IRS got most of my money}
They are so silly! Anywhoo, Erica brought me my very own pack of $100. bill “napkins”.
Here’s a list of my sweet friends who were with me in Chicago.
