Owl 3D Pop-It ACTIVITY IDEAS Here are some fun ideas on how to get the most out of your Owl 3D Pop-It (CD-110138). Job Assignment Write the names of classroom jobs on the tree pockets. Write each student’s name on an owl accent (laminate for longer use). When a student is assigned a job, place their own in the correct tree pocket. When a student does not have a job, the owl can be placed to the side or in a blank tree pocket. What do to next Write independent activities for students to complete on the owl accents. For example, Choose a puzzle and work on it at your desk. Place the owl accents in the tree pockets. Explain to students that if they finish an assignment early, they should choose an owl from one of the tree pockets and complete the activity listed. Nocturnal Knowledge Create a display to show off students new nocturnal knowledge. Explain what it means to be nocturnal. Have each student pick on nocturnal animal to research and ask them to write an assignment about their animals. Display student work around the Owl 3D Display. Vowel Owls Reinforce students’ knowledge of long and short vowel sounds with an owl word sort. Display the tree pockets in two rows. Label one tree pocket for each long and short vowel (a,e,i,o,u). Write the words that contain the vowel sounds on the owl accents. Distribute the accents to the class. Call on each student to read their word aloud then ask them to place the accent in the correct tree pocket. Discuss the answers with the class.
