Feeding the Birds

With the help of a real bird's nest and gummy worms, we acted out the process of migrating. Students learned that many northern birds fly here to Arizona to find food during the winter months. Below you will see students scattering sunflower seeds across the yard in hopes of attracting a generous population of birds to our school.

very organized!

It Snowed in Gilbert!

"Teacher, it's cold!" With help from a snow cone maker we were able to experience the frosty fun of snow. Throwing snowballs and eating strawberry flavored slushies were highlights of this project.
