Loulie began a new lesson on living and nonliving things today. We discussed how a living thing grows and changes, and how a nonliving thing does not. We went around the room and picked out living things and nonliving things. I gave her some pictures and she had to go through them and decide if they were living and nonliving and glue them under the correct columns. We went outside and walked around to find a few living things and a few nonliving things to put in a book. She found a shell, and dime, and a rock for the nonliving page, and a leaf, and acorn, and a flower for the living things. She glued them on construction paper to make a book. We also discussed animals and how some animals have fur, some have scales, and some have feathers. We talked about how birds have feathers and talked about different types of birds. She told me how she and her mom found and injured bird and took it to the hospital to save it. We made a bird feeder from a pinecone and bird seed, and hung it up outside.
