Learning about Birds




Kieran is doing a unit on animals for science right now. Last week we covered mammals. This week we are covering birds. When we are all done with the current unit, we will take a field trip to the zoo because school is always more fun when it takes you out of the house. So what has Kieran been doing this week? He helped hang up the bluebird nesting houses. He made a bird feeder. He's helping to take care of our chickens. He's been watching the birds that live in our garage and the ones that hang out in our backyard. The kids have all collected chicken feathers from the yard. We've read a few books. And, of course, no study of animals would be complete without having animal crackers for a snack.
