We looked at a few different kinds of owls. I pointed out the Snowy Owl, the Great Horned Owl, and the Burrowing Owl (we see these in AZ)
Can you guess what kind of owl my friend is?
He's Ollie; a Great Horned Owl
Books:
I'm Not Cute by Johnathan Allen: Baby Owl meets Rabbit, Fox, and Squirrel in the woods and is upset when they tell him how cute he is but when Mama tells him that he's not cute, his attitude changes.
Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood: A curious little owl explores her colorful surroundings during the day.
Music:
"Mr. Owl" by Kimmy Schwimmy. You can't help but to dance while singing this song! For the owl, we flapped our wings (elbows bent). For the bird, we flapped our arms (extended). For the cat we danced with little paws.
Thank you so much, Lisa Shaia for sharing this song! Listen to the full song here
Flannel:
"One Little Owl"
One little owl said, "Whoo, whoo."
Two little owls said, "Whoo, whoo."
Three little owls said, "Whoo, whoo."
As they sat in the old oak tree.
...crow said, "Caw, caw."
....squirrel said, "Crunch, crunch."
