Here is the Nest

Keep your eyes on the look out where ever you go! You might find something that you can use for teaching. I found these sweet birds at a garage sale. I bought it not knowing how I would use it. But came across this poem that works perfectly. To read more about how to use puppets go to my previous post.

Here is the Nest
by Lucia Kemp Henry
Here is the nest,
All warm inside.
Three little birds
Can safely hide.
Here is the nest,
All hidden away.
Three little birds
can flap and play.
Here is the nest,
All cozy and deep.
Three little birds
Are all fast asleep.

Teach Well: If you don't have a puppet that would work that's OK! Have the children create a nest with construction paper and draw their three birds in the nest before or after reading the poem. Have the children pretend they are one of the birds while you read.
