Five in a Row Unit: Owl Moon
















We learned so much about owls, trees, and nature. We read several books and watched the DVD "My Side of the Mountain." We made owl cupcakes. We drew pictures of owls and trees. We've also been watching the live webcam broadcast of an owl sitting on her eggs. They are supposed to hatch tomorrow.

Another great learning experience with Five in a Row!

Absolutely love Owl Moon - when my twins were young, we would go owling on my dad's land late at night. So many good memories!! We are on our way to China to pick up our daughter - she is 6 years old.
