"What an Owl Knows" Book Study course through NNU

"If anyone knows anything about anything,” says Winnie the Pooh, “it’s Owl who knows something about something.” Owls have truths to tell us.  We would be wise to listen.

Owls inhabit our language and are embedded in our sayings. When we are cranky and uncooperative we are “owly.”  If we stay up late at night we are “night owls.”  This book explores what new science has discovered about these enigmatic birds. Their anatomy, biology, behavior, and hunting skills.

The objective of our book study is to research What an Owl Knows from the educator’s lens, pre-K through high school, so that we can create a science unit that is aligned with the Idaho Science standards and use it in the classroom this fall.  Bringing a little more of our Idaho outdoors into our classroom walls will lead to successful outcomes for our students, more fulfilling careers for us as teachers, and lasting benefits for our communities.
