A Surprise in the Mail!

I surprised the kindergartners with their very own field guide titled, "South Dakota Backyard Birds".  They were so excited when they started looking through it!  They were shouting out birds that they knew in the book.  It was really fun to see them so happy and enjoying the booklets.  These field guides will stay in school throughout the year.  They will use them when for journal writing if they choose to write about a bird.  They will use them to tell riddles using describing words and having their friend try to guess the bird.  On that last day of school they can take their booklet home.
