TD Summer Reading Club Week 6: Ages 2-6

Week 6: Up In The Sky  

This week we flapped our wings and learned all about birds! We discussed the different types of birds you can find and the different sounds they all make. We all decided Macaws are the prettiest birds because of all the different colors they have on their tails. We also learned that there are some species of birds that can't fly even though they have wings! Can you guess which birds those are?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first story we read was:

Little Owl's Day by Divya Srinivasan

Then we read our second story:

Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard

After that we read:

What A Naughty Bird! by Sean Taylor 

Then we finished story time with:

Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems
