Fine-feathered friends

We learned all about feathers today! That's what covers all birds' bodies. It helps keep them warm, helps some birds fly, and helps some camouflage. Ms. Bonnie taught us the words for different parts of a feather - our favorite part is the vane because that's the fluffy part and it's good for..... tickle fights! Later, Ms. Bonnie brought out Luna the lovebird who has lots of brightly colored blue feathers. After our nature walk we practiced some graphing and read one of our favorite books, The Pigeon Needs a Bath, by Mo Willems.
