Owl Babies Art Project

Not only does the book "Owl Babies" allow for development of concepts of print, reading comprehension and retelling, but follow-up activities such as this multi-media representation of the 3 owls, Sarah, Percy and Bill, contribute to recalling specific details from the story.  At one point in the story, the three baby owls all get on one branch and wait for their owl mother to return.  For some students, counting out three baby owls and representing them with visual representations contributed to the Performance Standard "Relates number to quantity."
