We are birdwatchers...

We had so much fun learning about backyard birds. The weather has been very nice and the birds are tweeting and beginning to set up their nests. We made a book of the birds to take home and use as a guide when birdwatching. Here are just a few of the wonderful drawings in our books...


It's almost hard to believe these artists are Kindergartners, don't you think?

Backyard Birds...

It's very interesting but too long to watch all of it at school, so the link is here in case you want to watch it at home:
