New friend

Hello and happy Wednesday! The Birch room began the morning by making choices. The choices consisted of building with light table legos, building the alphabet with clothes pins and hangers, drawing more birds with different art materials, building with rocks and small loose parts and having car races!

The students were given a straw and figured out how to make the car move by using the straw and not touching the car with their hands. The students discovered how to blow into the straw and make the cars move! Some friends had races while others tried to blow the car on different surfaces, such as the table top, carpet and tile. After racing, they decided to make a track for the cars. The students used cardboard material and tubes for this activity.

Later on, we decided to go on a walk around the neighborhood and you'll never guess what we saw! When the walk began, there was a blue jay flying around in a yard. The bird followed us for a few houses, flying and hopping in the yards as we walked. The students said he was following us and wanted to join our walk...I guess they were right! As we were heading back to school, our new friend returned to the yard we were passing! They were so excited to see the bird! Keep an eye out for our bluejay in Webster!
