The 1st grade and I talked about what our state bird is, the black capped chickadee.
One of the students though our state bird is a falcon, that would be cool. The chickadee is awfully cute though. After talking we did a step by step drawing lesson on how to make the bird. I just couldn't say no when students asked if they can make the bird different colors. We ended up with some creative versions of our bird. Love it.
