Before February break we had Four Winds. We learned about birds and their feathers. The students got the chance to observe a variety of feathers. They noted the difference between the downy feathers that help keep them warm, and feathers that help them to fly. They worked together and sorted the feathers into the different categories. At the end the students were able to take a look at an actual bird wings. We were very surprised how light the wings were. It was very interesting.
