Our New Bird Books!

There were thrilled with their very own bird book.

Today the kids received a package in the mail.  I opened the box as they did a drum roll. They cheered and cheered when they saw their new bird books.  I explained that these books are to help them learn about birds and that they would stay in school for the whole year.  Then at the end of kindergarten, they may take them home to keep.

Then I sent them off to sit with a friend to look through the book.  They were gasping when they recognized the birds that they knew!  They were naming off birds left and right.  They knew most of the birds in the booklet and of course I was scolded for not teaching them the others!  Ha-ha!  They seem to think that they should already know all them.

I had them choose a bird from the book to draw and write about in their journal.  They were SO happy!

Thank you to the SD Wildlife Division of Game, Fish & Parks for the donating these books that I asked for.  They really are helpful!
