My Project

We are entering our last area of study, which is all about life cycles and spring time. We love to go on nature walks and hear all the birds singing. I want to drive deeper and teach the students more about birds!

I am asking for materials that will allow the students to learn about birds as they play.

I am asking for pretend birds, nests, eggs, books, and bird houses. With these materials, the students can make bird habitats in our classroom in the block area and the sensory table. They can look in the bird finder to see what the birds look like that they are hearing on our walks. The bird books will help the students to identify them as we go around the pond next to our school and in the woods.
