Bird Walk

 The last two days the kids have been enjoying watching the birds come to a bird feeder through a live feed we stream directly to the classroom. The kids noticed they were eating all kinds of different seeds and nuts. Was there a way we could feed the birds too? Some of them remembered making bird feeders with cheerios earlier this year so we decided to give it another try! 

A few of our friends sat down and ever so patiently began stringing cheerios onto pipe cleaners to make some easy bird feeders. 

"The birds will like these!"

"Yeah the birds eat them."

"We have to put them outside!"

After our meeting we took a walk around the neighborhood to the forest to supply the birds that visited one of our favorite spots with a delicious treat. 

Each kid picked a feeder and a tree branch to hang it from around the forest. 

"They will get them here!"
"I think they are going to like them!"
"Hey, birds, your food is here!"

Although we haven't discussed bird calls, F had his own way of calling for the birds to come and eat off of the newly created feeders. 

Unfortunately, his efforts were unsuccessful, BUT can't blame him for trying!
