Summer Homework

Go Bird Watching
    Make a bird watching journal.  Add photos or sketches of each bird. Write where the bird was and what it is doing. 
Make Fairy Houses
    Use moss, bark, and leaves to make them Add stones, flowers, and a solar outdoor light (so the fairies can make their way home at night) to decorate.

Collect Rocks And Paint Them
