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!

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
