Owl Babies is a tender tale that reminds the youngest of children that Mommy always comes back.

We read this book as part of Forest Birds Week.

Following this, students engaged in a literacy tray. For those of you not familiar, a literacy tray is a tool educators use to organize plot themes and ideas for young learners.

They can involve sensory materials, counting activities, and words associated with a story. This activity consisted of students using blocks to spell the word HOOT.
