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!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!
