Now on to the lesson…

My Pet Owl
I tell my teacher that I'm going to bring in my pet owl for show and tell.
“An owl?!” she says in shock.
“Yes, my owl!” I reply.
“Does your owl fly?” she asks.
“No, it can't fly,” I reply.
“Does your owl eat mice or rabbits,” she asks.
“No, it does not eat mice or rabbits,” I reply.
“Does your owl hoot?” she asks.
“No, it does not hoot.” I reply.
“Does your owl poop?” she asks.
“No, it does not poop,” I reply.
“Is this owl a real bird?” she asks.
“It is to me,” I reply.

Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
Was the owl in the story a real owl?
If you had a show-and-tell at your class or school, what would you bring?
