March 30th - April 2nd, 2026: Birds!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we had fun learning about birds! We cut out and painted our own birds & made their nests, went on a pinecone hunt to find pinecones to make bird feeders with peanut butter & birdseed, and played a rolling dice game with birds to get them back to their nests. Since it rained on Thursday afternoon, we will put our bird feeders near the garden next Monday and will check on them later next week to see if any birdies eat them! We also made some "bird watchers" from paper towel tubes, and went on a "backyard bird hunt" to see which ones we could find around the building. We read the books Birds for Kids, Grumpy Bird, and Mama Built a Little Nest. We are still reviewing the alphabet and this week we focused on M, N, O & P.
