Owl Fiction

Moving on from our owl non-fiction, we spent the end of the week reading owl fiction stories.  The Little White Owl is a great story for so many things. I could read this story every day of the week and find something new to do with it.

Day 1 - we made our own owls and did descriptive writing.  Look how cute these owls are!

Day 2 -  we compared fiction and non-fiction owls. The students completed a t-chart of true and false. Then, they wrote about things owls can do and things owls can not do.  

Day 3 - we discussed author's message.  This story has such a strong message of individuality and friendship.  The kids in my class love this little owl, and they love rereading this story over and over again. 

Another owl story I love to read is Owl Babies. These little owls are just too cute for words. We discussed our favorite parts of this book and why. My students are working on not only choosing a specific part of the story (instead of the generic "the end") but also a giving a reason why they liked that part the best.  

Here is a link to my whole owl packet.  It is filled with owl activities, including the ones above!

I hope you enjoy studying owls as much as I do!!

Owls

Owls are one of my favorite animals to study.  The children seem to always enjoy this week too.  You have to admit, owls are pretty cute, right?!

We always start the owl week off with our non-fiction learning.  We will read about owl facts and create an informational writing piece based on what we have learned.  We will discuss different owl vocabulary and different types of owls.

Here is the packet I created to go along with our owl unit.  It is packed with information on owls and has activities for non-fiction and fiction reading.  Just click on the picture to see the full packet.

Check back later in the week to see more owl activities!
