Feed the Birds

Farah Cuenca is brave!


Lorien's dumping ingredients into our bird feed mix.

Darius is mixing the lard into the mix.


Time to hang them up!

9-24-08

Circle Time, 9:30: Sing Opening Song. Share and Tell, Lorien brought her Deputy Badge that she got from the Home and Garden/Family Expo. Darius brought his Dump Truck, it carries dirt, sand and rocks. Then we went over the new English and Spanish D words (Delta, Dia) and what they mean. Figured out the date on the Calendar. Then they Colored D pages. I told them their Assignment for Friday was to bring or wear a disguise on Friday.
10:00 Free craft time: Paint, Play Dough, Building blocks, Train.
10:30 Feed Hermit Crabs, Darius got the food and Lorien did the water. Farah tried to get us all to hold the hermies, but we were a bit nervous about those claws!

10:45Science: We mixed bread crumbs, bird seed, crushed nuts, oats and lard together to form bird food cakes. The only problem was that lard melts. So after we hung the cakes up they melted. Darius scooped it all up into one cup. So now we need to find another way. Perhaps we'll do peanut butter next and see if we get better results.

11:30am Read 2 Books: Dreams by Ezra Jack Keats and Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
11:45: Wash Hands, Eat, free play.
12:00pm: Closing Circle time, reminded everyone to bring disguises.
