Welcome to the Kindergarten Curiousities Page

Have your students discovered some interesting facts or trends?  Had questions they would like to ask the other teams?  Or have made some remarkable statements during the project?  How about you?  Have you noticed student reactions when birds show up at the feeders?  This is the page to sound off and communicate with the other teams.  Use this page as a diary of sorts to be filled out as new things spark your imagination.

Well, someone has been visiting our feeder during the night. Today we could tell that seed was taken and some was scattered on the window sill outside our room. Maybe the birds are finally finding us up here on the second floor. We saw one lonely crow last week

We have finally seen our visitor. It is a large black crow who appeared at our feeder yesterday and again today while we were in school. It, or they, have eaten about 1/2 cup of birdseed in two days

Hello from Pennsylvania! The crows must have visited us over the weekend. When we came in today the feeder was empty. We added a cup of seed this morning

Good Morning on a very cold Monday morning! 7 degrees Farenheit!!! We had a 2 hour delay due to the cold. Last week our crows came back more frequently and we now have some smaller birds, too. They are probably sparrows. We have seen a lot of them around one tree at the edge of the school grounds.

WOW!  We saw a lot of birds on Wednesday when it was cold here and we were covered with  about 7 inches of snow.  The birds that we are now seeing are called dark eyed juncos.  We found photos on the Internet and learned about them.

 We've had a great time watching for birds and studying the different birds that have come to our feeder. So far, our most common guest is the house sparrow, but we have also seen mourning doves, a blue jay and a Carolina chickadee.

 This week our special visitor was a little brown striped sparrow who came and sat in the birdfeeder and ate.  We think she liked being safe from the cold and snowy weather.

This week we saw more birds and our weather was very windy and we had a storm last night.  Some of us even lost our electricity.  We think there will be more birds this week.  We'll keep you posted to see if our prediction is correct.
