Have you heard the birds singing in the morning? It's a sign of Spring! Today we read about birds and the nests they make for their eggs. We read Nest by Jorey Hurley, about the year in the life of a bird and Birds by Kevin Henkes, about all the things that different birds have in common. We read a funny Elephant and Piggie book by Mo Willem's book called There Is A Bird on Your Head. And we read parts of Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward, about the different kinds of nests that birds can make to raise their babies.

For our craft, we made paper nests by gluing "nesting materials" - yarn, paper scraps, basket filler, pine needles, string, cotton, and more - to a paper plate. Then we colored a bird, gave it some feathers, and added a few paper eggs! Building a nest is tricky to do!
