Owls 2012-2013: All Kinds of Owls

Welcome to our world of discovery and learning!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs. Extended family, friends, neighbors, educators, etc, are also encouraged to follow the blog!
One of the wonderful aspects of blogging is that it allows real-time interaction between home and school. Is your child talking about what we are doing in school? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you interested (or even an expert!) in something we are studying? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you planning an outing with your child to extend the classroom learning? Leave us a comment and invite other families along!
We also have a section call, "Learn More About..." When we write each post, we tag it with relevant topics. And so if you wanted to see what we have been doing with, for instance, science, you would click on that tag, and see all the posts about science.

All Kinds of Owls

Today we continued our owl research by gong to the BIG library where Toni the Librarian helped us find more owl books. We took our books out to the grove and divided into our new small groups. Each group chose an owl and made up a song and dance about the owls. We will use these small groups for many different things throughout the year. Our first task, however, is to develop our identity as Bearded Screech Owls, the Burrowing Owls, and the Great Horned Owls!

We also had some amazing building happening in the block area. Mike set up an Andy Goldsworthy inspired block structure, and the Owls were invited to work with him to build! They are developing their ideas about form and structure!
