Today we read stories connected to finding our way. One of the stories we read was about a crayon that found its way to different places and shares about what they discover. Lindsey shares her joy in mapping by telling her story using maps. We are creating our story of kindergarten through mapping and creating our own maps.

 Today we celebrated bees. Today is World Bee Day! We created scientific drawings and thought about ways we can care for the world that support bees and their habitats. 

Some of our ideas:

Plant Flowers

Grow different types of flowers

Create open spaces in nature. Grow lots of different plants for all the insects.

Today we started working on creating a bird mosaic out of plastic caps. The children are doing a wonderful job tessellating the surface and sharing their observations. They are thinking about space, shapes, and how to problem solve as they go.

Today we explored bird habitats around our school. We started creating a list of what we observed and thought about ways we can advocate to help keep these habitats healthy.

We found signs of bird life too! Some things we found were feathers and broken egg shells.

Today we explored the life cycle of a bird. We explored the different eggs that birds lay too. We learned that eggs come in all different colors, sizes, shapes and that some of the eggs shells are much harder than others.

We wrote messages about why people need to care about #13 Climate Action too.

 Today the children created bird glossaries using paper and colors. Each child chose 4 different birds to illustrate and created what they learned about each bird. The illustrations are detailed, colored, and have so much information. This was a wonderful way for the children to reflect on our new knowledge about birdlife.

We read a wonderful story about migration. We learned about how birds find their way to different habitats.

Today we went on another nature hike. Today we used our skill of observation to help us notice the land. We created posters to help promote ways for people to care for the land so all birds have a safe and clean habitat.

Today we explored the life of a Flamingo. As explorers we are thinking about the special features a flamingo has and are wondering if their features connect to the place where they live.

Look here for photos of today.

Today we explored the Seek app. Go here to get it for free. The app helps us identify the different species we are observing in nature.

We are exploring birds of prey, their unique body features, and their habitats. Each child has a scientific drawing of an owl that will be shared with the Williston Observer too.

 Today we read some wonderful stories about eggs and the different types, colors, and sizes. Today we used our explorer tools and walked up a mountain and looked around the land to see where we think a bird habitat might be found.

We watched a Mystery Science about eggs too!

Perspective helps us think about things differently.
