Spring is here and so are many animals!  We have started learning about animal classification.  First we learned about vertebrates and invertebrates.  Then we started exploring how vertebrates are classified as mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles.  During the winter we explored winter animals and built a bear den.  During our exploration of birds we watched a short video, read a book "Feathers for Lunch" and went on a bird hunt outside.  We learned about different species of birds that live in our area and what they enjoy eating and where they live.  We even tried building our own nests!
