Our 4 Winds theme today was focused all around nests. Sigrid and Shannon began the morning with a thrilling puppet show. Ask your child what Potato Chip taught them! We then investigated the similarities and differences between a variety of nests. We had fun discovering what nests are made of by looking closely at six different real nests and documenting our observations in our science journals. The students also had the opportunity to create their own nests using a variety of materials from nature. During writer's workshop later in the day we read a nonfiction book and learned specifically about what kinds of nests particular birds created. Throughout the morning we shared our experiences with birds and nests and wrote about a time we saw birds in their nests.
