This is what I came down to this morning. They all had their bird watching binoculars and they were camped out at the window waiting to see if the mommy was going to return to the nest.We learned yesterday that where most birds lay their eggs early in the morning robins eat worms in the morning and return to the nest late morning to lay.
Faith wrote about our nest here. The whole house it pretty bird crazy right now and I am having a hard time getting them focused on their math, reading, and spelling this morning.
Any suggestions?

Bird nest Soup??
Sweet. Ignight it!
I need to call my brother and get him on it.
:)
How many eggs? Count the eggs; subtract how many hatch; write a story about the process-nest, eggs, hatch, feed; How many birds do you see? If every bird has a nest with ___ eggs, how many eggs are there? What color are robin's eggs? Cardinal's? Blue Jays? blah, blah, blah
Encourage them to be interested in nature-birds nest soup-ignite it?? I mean who really needs-MATH? Watch the birds-they are much more interesting. Isn't God wonderful to provide us with these little beauties?!
Joni's right on. Use their excitement for teachable moments. It sounds like you are doing that already!! They are going to remember so much of this now because they are "living it out!"
Kristen and Mike,
My advice, as someone who has had this problem before, is to buy a new grill... you are NOT going to want to use it again after you see the mess left behind!
Whoever knew such little birds could eat so much?
Nasty stuff!
