Birds

We spent the week learning about birds.  We focused on 7 main birds, the cardinal, baltimore oriole, robin, blue jay, indigo bunting, warbler, and wood pecker.  We talked about how birds have beaks to eat food and no teeth!  Then we talked about how they get hungry in winter and how nice it would be for us to put some food out for them.  We had blast making bird feeders!

 We had bird figures that the kids could play with this week.  We used our blocks to create bird houses for them!

We spent one day talking about how penguins are a kind of bird.  We discussed how they don't fly but their wings are called flippers and are designed for them to swim underwater.  We made a class list of what we know about penguins and then Mrs. Chyko helped us write a book about penguins!

We also had lots of fun continuing to use our imaginations with Wikki Stix.  Here are some of our creations!

On Friday we talked about Peacocks.  We used coffee filters, markers, a spray bottle and some tempera paint to create our own peacocks!

We also had fun using our Lincoln Logs to create a train track!
