We started listening to an audio book about owls a while back (I'm a little loath to mention the title here as the rest of the series has some content in it that just does not sit well in my "gizzard" {smile} yet despite that fact the children and I have become very interested in owls!
Even though we were taking a much needed mid term break last week Bobs has been leading his own delight led study about owls … one with NO writing.
Below is some of his delight led learning list. I've streamlined the items for this post.
Owls in the Family (Canadian) by Farley Mowat (Tie-in Reader)
He's also picked up Apologia's Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day as a "sip read" (He and Daisy got quite put out at the hungry sailors eating the friendly Dodo bird!).
Reference reads:
Bird Songs from Around the World by Les Beletsky (a gift from Aunty S (-: )
DK Picturepedia Birds pgs 42-43 (though Bobs & Daisy are reading all the book)
