This week we are continuing our study of nocturnal animals by studying OWLS! I absolutely love teaching science and giving your children the chance to explore the world around them and the creatures that live in their world! After reading a book about owls and looking through a non-fiction book with pictures of real owls, we discussed what owls might eat. We talked about how an owl’s feathers are designed to make very little/no noise so they can swoop down on their prey without making a sound. I explained to the children how an owl cannot digest things like bones and teeth…so they regurgitate it, creating what we know as an “owl pellet.” I showed the children an owl pellet, and I carefully opened it so they could see the bones, teeth, and fur of the little creature the owl had had for dinner. {might sound gross…but we thought it was awesome!!!} Check out the photos from our group time!
In one of our small groups, we made our own owls! Check out the fun we had as we made them!
