Owl Moon

This week we are reading Owl Moon by Jane Yolen. Our go-along activity for yesterday was to make a food chain. After reading more about owls, I had G tell me what owls eat (and surprisingly, yes, some do eat rabbits!), then what rabbits eat, and we made our own mini food chain.


Afterward, G wanted to draw a picture of an owl:

How did you start your homeschool group... not sure I want my children going to our public schools.

I found a local homeschool group through a search on meetup.com. There were several in my area, and we visited each one to see which one fit us best. I'd also recommend going to http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp to check out your state's homeschool laws. It's a good place to start learning about homeschooling.

Good luck to you!

That is an EXCELLENT interpretation of an owl. He's got a good eye!

Thanks, Kimberly! He informed me the other day that he wants to be an illustrator. He *does* love him some colored pencils and paint. :-)
