O-W-L

We spelled out the word OWL using letters I printed and laminated, then stuck onto the dry erase board with double-sided tape. Once we went over the letters used, I added an S and explained how that made the word plural. We then added other letters to the beginning of the word to find rhymes.

Craft

I printed out this owl craft from First School and the children pasted them onto a piece of brown construction paper then colored them in. Volunteers cut out the pieces ahead of time for the toddlers, while the preschoolers cut their own out.
