My Project

My kindergarten class is going to be studying birds this spring! We would love to have a culminating party at the end of the unit! We could use decorations and banners to make our classroom look more festive! We would love to wear tropical bird headbands! We could use hummingbird cake toppers as game pieces for a sight word game where words will be written on flowers and the hummingbirds will pollinate the word flowers. We can use an owl pellet dissection kit, so we can find animal bones! We are going to love coloring wooden birds and playing with bird gliders!

Your donation will help my students celebrate birds!
