"Owl" About Me! Glyph/Writing Craftivity

 

This past week has been a real HOOT!! {Hoot Owls that is!} The kiddos loved making these fun owl glyphs & then writing sentences about themselves. These make a super-cute fall display also!

My firsties LOVED listening to the story "Owl Babies" by Martin Waddell. If you are looking for a great story for making text-to-self connections, this it the one! Baby Owlet Bill is a real hoot! The kids LoVeD him!

Now this is something to HOOT about!

Hey! Just finished up my Owls & Woodland Animals Unit! I will be giving away a copy to 3 of you AmAzInG followers tomorrow! If you haven't entered my giveaway yet, HURRY-just a few short hours left. Also EVERYTHING at my Teachers Pay Teachers & Teachers Notebooks shops is on SaLe through Monday! You have to check out these AdOrAbLe owl glyphs that my firsties finished up yesterday...

They turned out sooo stinkin' cute!!! As a matter of fact, I thought they did such a great job that I spent about 3 hours last night trying to figure out how to use them to illustrate my "Guess Who?" owl facts book". (Good thing the Mr. fell asleep early on the couch-gave me the chance to spend some quality time with my computer! lol) Check out how cute they look on this book!!!

I can't wait to see my kiddos faces when I reread this book to them, but this time it will have pictures of their owls in it! Gosh I just LOVE it when my firsties get so excited about learning!! Here's a pic of the chart that we filled out after reading several non-fiction books about owls. I also made a student-version of this-just click on the picture below for a FREEBIE!
