O is for Owl

We made an Owl puppet for the letter O. This puppet has simple shapes to talk about. I really liked the suggestions the www.dktl-teach.com site had on teaching shapes and sizes.
We colored one shape at the same time and talked about colors.

I had Hailey on my lap while I cut and glued my together as a model.

Hailey wanted me to cut out her shapes. After I cut out the shape I pointed out where I put that shape on my owl and where she can put it on her owl. She sometimes said "no" and decided to put it in another spot but at least she understands how to make it look like mine if she wants.

We talked about the circles we used and how "O" is in the shape of a circle. So we read the O Alphabook from Baby Einstein. Then we read "Who Hoots?" by Katie Davis. It's a good book about animal sounds. Hailey didn't get as excited about this as I thought she would. Then we read "White Owl, Barn Owl" by Nicola Davies and illustrated by Michael Foreman. I like the illustrations a lot.

To finish off we looked on No Time for Flash Cards for the Little Brown Owl Song.
