Can you guess what we have been studying this week in our preschool?
Look closely...
Yes, birds!
The farms is just bursting with them. Water birds because of the pond. Wood birds because of the woods. Field birds because of the fields.
Blue birds, blue jays, robins, woodpeckers, chickadees, goldfinches, crows, sparrows, cardinals, and even a heron.
We've looked at bird nests. (Don't you love the look of amazement on their faces!) We've talked about how birds hatch and have hollow bones. We've counted all the different kinds and talked about why God gave them differences. We built an Ella and Ezra sized bird nest. We read books about birds. We sat and watched a woodpecker go to town on one of the oak trees with the binoculars. We painted with feathers. We fed the birds. We read how God cares for even the tiniest sparrow.
Luke 12:5-7
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

I love their expressions... even little buggar Ezra has a "sweet" expression on his face..hard to think he gave you such a time at the part the other day with that sweetness on his face.
