Owl Day

We have had fun with our owl theme today.  We read some good books...

We especially loved the illustrations in this one!
And we took advantage of a new-to-us feature available through our library called Scholastic BookFlix that pairs a fiction book with a non-fiction book about some of the same things.  So today we "watched" Owl Moon and then they listened to a Scholastic book about full of facts about owls.  It was fun!  You have to access the site through your local library and with your library card so check and see if your library is part of the system.  

Haven made a torn paper collage of an owl...

 Then she worked away on her first ever graphing project.  I remember loving these when I was a kid and am happy to see that she enjoys it as much as I did.  Can you guess what it's going to be?


This has nothing to do with owls, but we decided to make soft pretzels for lunch.  Wow- they were so good! And so easy!  Which could be a problem now that I know how good they are.  

Now I'm all carbed up and ready for a nap! Did you do anything fun today?

What a fun-filled day. We really enjoy using bookflix. I like the pairings, too, of fiction/non-fiction... such a great idea! Haven's collage is impressive!
