Spanish Word of the Day: Pájaro (Bird) Today, our friends learned all about birds!
What is a bird? A bird is an animal that:
• Has feathers
• Has wings
• Has a beak
• Is warm-blooded
• Breathes with lungs
• Lays and takes care of eggs
Our friends also learned about the bird’s life cycle and how birds help plants grow. Birds are important because they spread seeds and help pollinate flowers, especially plants that grow naturally in our area. We had so much fun discovering how special birds are!

It’s April!
Our curious little stars explored the fascinating world of bird nests! We discovered what nests are, why birds build them, and how they keep baby birds safe and warm. Why Do Birds Build Nests? Birds work hard to create special homes for their babies. Nests help birds by: Holding their eggs – A safe place for baby birds to grow before they hatch. Providing protection – Nests keep baby birds safe from wind, rain, and predators. Offering camouflage – Birds often hide their nests in tall grass or trees to keep them out of sight. Hands-On Learning: Building Our Own Nests! To better understand how birds construct their homes, our stars gathered materials and made their own nests. We used: Twigs, leaves, and grass Feathers String or yarn Soft materials like cotton or tissue Each child carefully arranged their materials, just like a real bird would! It was a fun and creative way to experience how birds build safe and cozy homes for their babies. We love watching our young stars explore nature and develop an appreciation for the world around them. Ask your child about their bird nest project and see what they remember!
