How can we help the birds to find the
birdhouse?
Problem Solving: May
28, 2013 A.M.
The last few weeks the children have been working on constructing a bird house. They first worked together to figure out how to fit the pieces together. After a few days of trial with fitting the pieces together the children came up with a plan and drew their ideas down on how to construct the house. Once they had their plans we worked on practicing with hammers and nails. We had Mr. Gary came down to drill some holes in pieces of wood to help us get it started. The children worked for a few days to complete the bird house, which is now hanging outside the classroom door.
Group Meeting: Conversation About the Bird House
Emilio: We can make the birdhouse darker!
Jenna: We could use birdseed and put it on
a track and have it stop by the birdhouse.
Deena: We could put the food on top of the
birdhouse!
Jamil: We could put birdseed in the
birdhouse.
Katie: We could put some birdseed on the
ground by the birdhouse.
Emilio: We could tweet and make bird calls
and noises to help lead the birds there.
Deena: We could tweet and use food.
Natalie: Maybe we can put a small flashlight
in the birdhouse so it won’t be dark and they can see their food.
Emilio: We can use worms because birds like
them and chipmunks do not.
