Birds and bees

What perfect timing for this theme. Bees are slowly finding their way out and we are noticing more and more birds everywhere. Yay!!

We discovered that birds and bees both have wings and both come back when it starts to warm up.

Thanks to Funshine for providing the Robin vocabulary word, the kids knew exactly what to look for.

We learned that every Robin has an orange belly and if they find an orange feather on the ground, that is probably came from a robin.

This is one of the books that came in the curriculum. 

I read a book over and over again and by the end of the week I can ask what comes next or tell me about the picture and they know exactly what happens next. 

One of the creative art activities was making a Rock -a-bye Robin prop. 

The kids stood them on the rounded edge and they can rock them .

We sang this song to go with it. 

Sung to "Rock a bye baby

Rock a bye Robin with an orange breast

You've had a long day; it's time for a rest.

You hopped in the grass and flew through the sky. 

And now it it time to go rock a bye.

Everyday the kids stand on the window sill and look for Robins. They get so excited every time they see one!
