Give a hoooooot for good books!

I know some of us hate the end of summer. It means back to school, less barbecue's, less pool time and less sunshine. For me, it means pretty colors on the trees, cooler temperatures (sometimes) and PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS. I am arguably one of the biggest reasons for all those pumpkin spice memes you are seeing all over the place right now!

Today at school we are jumping into Autumn and while I know the official first day of fall isn't until September 22, I like to get a head start. :) We are reading Good-night, Owl by Pat Hutchins and The Little White Owl by Tracey Corderoy and Jane Chapman. While it may seem the only thing these two titles have in common are owls, they both have something to learn about. One is silly with owls munching on toast and jam and teaches about acceptance. The other is fun in teaching about the animals that keep owl up in the day time until the night falls and the owl is the only one awake because he is nocturnal!

I  am always shocked to find out how much kinders know. I am looking forward to seeing how many already know what nocturnal means! It is a perfect time to focus on changing in the seasons, animal habitats and upcoming holidays!
