Birds of a Feather March 2, 2010

Hello friends! Many of you will be coming to the a session called “Birds of a Feather”. Before you get there, lets see if we can get you (and maybe your students involved). We need to “think bird”. What bird would win the title of the bravest bird? Why? What is the most famous bird? How many bird songs can you think of? What about books that include birds in the story? If you could be a bird, what bird would you be? What do birds eat? Even better, what do birds eat that you would like to find in your lunch bag? There is a catfish…is there a catbird and if so does it have whiskers? Humans have eyes, ears, mouth and nose…is that the same for birds? (what about a tongue and teeth)
We would love to hear what you or you students think about any or all of these questions. Better yet what questions would your students like to pose about birds? Please feel free to post to this blog so that we can all “think bird” bird together.
