CONVERSEMOS:
¿Por qué crees que la mayoría de los pájaros ponen sus huevos en la primavera y no en las otras estaciones del año?
CONVERSEMOS:

We suggest students work in pairs. Homeschool students can work on their own.
Students will be lining their paper bird nests with tissue paper and/or other soft material. If you have a high tolerance for chaos, you can put these materials at different stations around the room — and have your students “fly” to the stations to gather their materials. It’s fun, but chaotic.
We also suggest encouraging students to modify the materials you provide -- tearing and crumpling them to make them fit in their nest. That’s what birds do, after all!
If you have a supply of pompoms, consider surprising each student with a pompom “egg” for their nest! We think 1-inch pompoms are about the right size for a paper bag nest.
