We
had a beautiful breezy day today learning all about bird beaks and feet. We
started off with a game that was new for most: the horse game!
We came inside and did a greeting that involved matching cards
with animal noses with the correct animal.
We stretched!
We read the morning message. Today’s password is keratin,
which is what beaks and talons and fingernails and our hair is made out of.
We
did a bird beak adaptation lab where homeschoolers had to pick up different
kinds of bird food using different tools. We learned that different kinds of
birds have specialized beaks to eat their food, whether it is fish, flying
insects, seeds or plants!
We
had a great outdoor adventure! We admired
spring wildflowers...
...encountered new poison ivy and jewelweed...
...built a bridge...
...pretended we were mommy and daddy birds with clothespins for beaks...
...found
a dragonfly recently emerged from its exoskeleton...
... and caught frogs and a baby turtle!
We
worked hard on journal writing...
...and
made a beak wheel craft to match the birds with their beaks!
