Splish Splash Chickens Taking a Bath!

Good morning! 
Last week, I had a conversation with a friend from the PM class about learning something new. Over the past couple of weeks he has been telling a few of the Pine teachers about Minecraft and all the different characters, locations, and activities you can do while playing the game. It was so enlightening to hear him talk about something he was really interested in and took the time to teach us something! While staying home, I have found myself wanting to learn something new too, but little did I know I didn't need to look to far! For today's blog, Ms. Katie has taken the time to take a video of her chicken! Learn something new with me and watch below 

Can you guess what this chicken is doing?



Chickens take baths to keep clean, just like you. But instead of getting into a tub of water, chickens take a bath by digging a shallow trench in fine, dry soil or sand. They roll, wiggle, and throw the dirt to get it all over their feathers. The dirt helps them to absorb excess oil on their skin. The dirt also helps to remove any mites or lice that may be on the chicken. When they are all done, they stand up, fluff out all their feathers, and shake all the dirt off. Then they feel nice and clean.

End of the year!

 

Welcome back!!

 I hope you all enjoyed your long break together. We are back at it with our same centers and focus words UP and DOWN. This will be the last week for our current activities and will change it up for the last 2 weeks before our next BIG break. Only 12 days left together for the year and we are counting down!  Please help us celebrate:  Pine’s Friendsgiving Feast! Your kiddos have been hard at work filling each other's buckets through acts of kindness. They earned a special celebration before the Thanksgiving break but we held off our celebration so all friends could participate. Today we read a book called Feast for 10 and were inspired by some ingredients. If you would like to help us celebrate our friendship and donate to our feast, we would love it! Our plan is to celebrate on Thursday Dec 5th. Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu9-130U8W6xGWiNsdlLMXYA9q8yOASwtSEybrST3Rc/edit?usp=sharing
