A Weekend With Mr. Owl

Sam's teachers have decided on an Owl Theme for their classroom this year.  One element to this theme is the class pet, Mr. Owl.  Mr. Owl participates in some class activities and spends a lot of time watching over the class.  Each Thursday he picks someone to go home with for the weekend.

Last Thursday Sam's bag came home with one extra passenger on board, along with a note that read, "Your child has been chosen to take Mr. Owl home for the weekend!  Mr. Owl has been watching over our class and has spotted your child following the rules and being a great student!"

He was the first one to be selected.  Color me floored, and proud.  And Sam was pretty excited about it, too.

We took Mr. Owl everywhere with us that weekend.  I can't say that we took him on any terribly thrilling adventures, but we did our best.

On Monday we printed out some pictures, Sam dictated a summary, and he cut and taped it all together.  We turned in the first page in Mr. Owl's adventure book on Tuesday morning.

I can totally get on board with this kind of homework!
