When we left school on Wednesday, I knew our bird friends needed some extra fattening food to survive these negative temperatures...so I trudged through the snow and hung up 2 suet feeders in our school garden. We continue to see many American Goldfinches and Dark-eyed Juncos visiting our black oil sunflower feeder and thistle feeder everyday. We can't wait to get our new bird bath into the garden when the weather breaks and our new ground feeder which the students helped me put together. We are beginning to write our rough draft research papers and practicing our art skills for the Erie County Audubon Society art competition.
We enjoyed learning more information about our backyard birds and I think we surprised our guest with how much we have already learned from our own research! We have been so busy filling our bird feeders, "spying" on our bird friends through our classroom scope and reading about different species of birds. We can't wait to share all that we have learned with other bird enthusiasts! |
