Bluebirds.....

Bluebirds can be quickly spotted because of their blue feathers and their cheerful chirps.  They can ofter be found on trees or fences.  They have round bellies, long wings and short legs.  Bluebirds have incredible vision and can spot an insect on the ground 60 feet away. A male can sing as many as 1,000 songs an hours to try and attract a mate. During this Invitation to Create, children used their spatial and creative skills to construct a bluebird. As they do with a puzzle, children explored turning, flipping and rotating the shaped pieces to make a complete picture.  Through this process, they learned that there are multiple interpretations of a bluebird instead of just one.  
We discussed that birds are all different colors.  As a group, they took turns spinning the Bird Color Spinner.  They stated what color it landed on and then drew a bird that same color!
