The weather began today with more rain and ended with some sunshine peeking through the clouds. This morning Ms. Ellington noticed the mother robin sleeping with her head tucked under her wing.First Grade Charles recorded their observations of the nest in their daily log.

ECC Charles children shared some questions about the robin as they looked out the window.
Mrs. Vogel: Is it sitting on eggs?
Henry: I’m wondering if it’s a boy or a girl – who’s getting the food?
Maddie: Is the mama bird laying eggs right now?
In ECC, the children worked to create representations of the nest using clay, twigs, dried grass, yarn, and shredded paper.
