Baby Bird

 Morah Myriam found a baby bird that had fallen from a nest. We put it in a basket with a blanket so it would be comfortable.

                               The children came to see the bird. Leora: "Birdie! Birdie!"

                            The little bird tried to fly a little but wasn't quite strong enough.

     We gave the bird a little mushed up clementine and apples. Baby bird liked the clementine.

 Levy came over to see the bird too. Morah: "We have to be very gentle with the little bird."

 More children crowded around the basket to see the baby bird. Everyone was very curious.

 The baby bird perched on Morah Myriam's hand. Logan wanted to pet the bird and was very gentle.

 Ana-Chaya also had a turn petting baby bird. And then Levy and Sela came over to see.

 Everyone pointed to baby bird. We decided it was time to find baby's Mommy and Daddy bird.

 After all the children had turns petting the little bird, Morah Myriam spotted birdies' Father who had some food for the little guy. Morah Myriam let baby bird go and he flew away. :-)

Eggsperiments in KDH

KDH has been exploring birds. What makes a bird a bird? Where do birds live? Do all birds fly? Can you name birds from A to Z?

Last week Dovi came up with another question.  How do birds sit on their eggs and they don't break! 

We did two experiments to answer the question. We took three raw eggs and stood them up in modeling clay. Then we stacked books on top of them!

 Do you know how many we stacked!! 27 Books, all about the topics were are exploring, birds, ladybugs, poetry, flowers.

Next we took three half egg shells and stacked books on them. They were also strong enough to hold up many of the books.

Eggs really are strong! What an amazing discovery!
