We learned about Canadian Geese migrating south. We looked at pictures, watched videos and read books to learn more about these migrating birds. | We read a story about little bear and his family preparing for winter hibernation. We discussed and wrote about how our families prepare for winter too. | We created our own bird feeders! We hope that these will help our flying friends gather food for the winter. Find a special tree to hang this on at home! |
