By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the basic concept of history and how it relates to owls.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Crayons or colored pencils

No prior knowledge or preparation is required for this lesson.

Activities

1. Draw an owl on a piece of paper. Make sure to include its features like wings, eyes, and beak.

2. Imagine that your owl is a historian. What do you think it would say about its life and experiences?

3. Now, let's think about the history of owls. What do you think owls did in the past? Draw a picture of an owl doing something from history, like hunting for food or taking care of its babies.

4. Share your drawings with someone else and explain what you drew. Ask them about their owl's history too.

Kindergarten Talking Points

• "History is like a story about the past. It tells us what happened a long time ago."
• "Just like people have history, animals like owls have history too. They have their own stories to tell."
• "When we draw pictures of owls doing things from history, it helps us imagine what their lives were like in the past."
• "Sharing our drawings and talking about them with others helps us learn from each other and understand different perspectives."
