Robin,robin in your nest...
where you've built it...is it best?
The kindergarten kids have been watching a robin building her nest in one of the towers of the kindergarten playground. It has been fun to watch her...we saw her try to use a piece of plastic. She decided better of it though and took it back out...promptly dropping it on the playground where she found it!
This act of nature has caused us to think about predators, places to build a nest, nest making materials(we put some yarn on the playground and are anxious to see after the season if she used it! We have been taking digital pictures since day one and will be writing a book about building a nest and the life cycle of the robin. I fear we may learn about survival of the fittest. Our best lesson has been about the Life cycle in regards to our earth worms, robins, chicks, monarch caterpillars and also soon plant life cycles...yes it is dandelion season. I got my first one last week!
