Description
As a nature log and activity book, Put on Your Owl Eyes is a resource meant to encourage students to get outside and create their own nature adventures. The author, who has a degree in environmental education and is a teacher of survival, tracking and awareness skills, incorporates information about wildlife, habitat, tree identification and more. There is a variety of explorations including finding a “sit spot” wandering, mapping, tracking and more. Please note that toward the end there is a small section on celebrating connection through thanksgiving and gratitude. It includes information on how certain native groups and the Tree of Peace Society incorporate thanksgiving. It invites the reader to feel free to use the style of thanksgiving presented or create their own way of giving thanks. This can include speaking words of thankfulness to inanimate objects like soil, winds, directions, Creative Power, ancestors, future generations, etc. ~Judy
Publisher's Description of Put on Your Owl Eyes
Children will see the natural world around them with brand new eyes, as they learn to follow its signs, hear its language, and understand its secrets. With this unique and compelling book written by expert environmental educator Devin Franklin, kids aged 8 to 13 will build their own relationship with nature through finding a “Sit Spot” — an outdoor space in the backyard, in a field or in the woods, in a vacant lot or a city park — where they can stop, observe, and become familiar with the flora and fauna that live there.
From the Six Arts of Tracking (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How) and making a habitat map to walking in smooth silence like a fox and learning the basics of bird language, exploration exercises lead young readers on a fascinating journey of discovery as they watch, listen, map, interpret, and write about the sounds, sights, scents, and patterns they encounter. With prompts and write-in spaces for journaling, map-making activities, and observational tracking throughout, Put On Your Owl Eyes is an interactive and thought-provoking guidebook.
