Charlie and I will be reading Books about Birds this week in Stop! Drop! & Read! I would like to share some of the book we found that we will be reading and a link as to where you can purchase them the books at.
The Bird Who Loved to Moo!
Charlie and I are also looking for a Bird Feeder we can put it up in our yard because Charlie and I would like to start our own Bird Watching Club. At the school where Charlie attended at the end of our street is a Red Headed Woodpecker. Our friend Ed who lives right around the corner has a Dove that comes into his yard and eats every day. Now Charlie and I want to see what will come into our yard.
Bird Characteristics Fact Pack
When I grade Charlie’s papers, I can pick up Bird Stickers to put on the papers Charlie does good on. Or Charlie can also use the Stickers for Crafts and or for letters we mail to our Pen pal. If you haven’t signed up for our Pen pal list, there is still time. Your children will get Gifts like these Multi-Colored Stickers-The Beauty of Bird Stickers.
Once again, I would like to invite you to join us as study Birds the next two weeks!
I would like to remind you if you click on the link and make a purchase that I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase as I am an affiliate for Amazon.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
