The Little White Owl

Hi everyone!  Today's post is all about friendship and acceptance.  I love doing activities that teach children about these things.  I don't know about you but I spend a TON of time the first few months of school on these types of lessons.  I feel it's so important to build a sense of community in the classroom early on because it makes the rest of the year run so smoothly.  It's always great seeing the children helping out and being empathetic towards one another.

One activity that I like to do at the beginning of the year is reading The Little White Owl.  It's such a cute read-aloud!  Click the cover below to see it on Barnes and Noble.  After we read the story, we do these owl directed drawings.  I have no idea where they came from because there is no name on the pictures and I've had them for several years...if they are yours, please let me know so I can give you credit!  Finally students got to watercolor their owls, which they loved!  {I had them trace their owls with a black Sharpie first}.
