This week was all about owls. We researched many different types of owls. We learned some of the sounds they make, hearing anything from typical hoo hoo sounds to a dog’s woofing. We learned that one type of owl can have varying sounds that mean different things, ie: the Great Horned Owl makes a woof sort of sound to ward off predators that are near. We also learned that owls are nocturnal and usually hunt at night. Although we did discover that Snowy Owls often hunt in the morning while other owls are sleeping! There were plenty of pretend play scenarios that ended up including owl pellets after learned about what owls eat and how they catch it. We had a variety of pretend play animals dropping pellets after they “ate”. These kids are too funny!
We made a few owl crafts including toilet paper tube owls, patterned paper owls, and Snowy Owls painted using cotton balls in a dabbing sort of motion to give some texture.
And we cannot forget all the outdoor fun we had this week; taking an adventure to a new park, having a picnic, playing in the sprinkler, and playing with frisbees and hole hoops.
