Migrating

Today's lessons focused birds.  We learned that some birds like the Robin migrate in winter, while other birds like Cardinals and Juncos stay in Wisconsin and adapt to the cold weather.  Our two read alouds were titled Why Do Geese Fly South in Winter? and Birds.

During centers today the children followed four steps to make a pine cone bird feeder.  When your child brings their feeder home please help them hang it up outside.  By doing this they learn compassion for other living things. 

At Miss Sue's center the children cut out five geese.  They then used a mixture of shaving cream and glue to make a cloud on a piece of paper.  They used their finger to make the letter v in their cloud.  Lastly, they placed the geese they cut out on the v to make it look like they were flying in a v formation.  At closing circle we pretended we were geese and we flew in this same formation.
