This week: birds and nests
A bird week for twos to fours: nests, eggs and feathers, how birds fly, and quiet bird-watching outside.
Our letter is N: N is for nest.
Our song is “Sing a Song of Sixpence”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: A Nest on the Hill, Big Egg, A Bath for the Birds, Fox and the Hen. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
Sing a Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye; Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing; Wasn't that a dainty dish To set before the king?
