For the birds!
This morning we woke to a beautiful spring day. The birds all seemed to be out, in every tree and bush, singing, twittering and making the morning known to all. The kids noticed at breakfast the beautiful music, so we decided to write some poetry this morning. Hopefully you can click on the picture and it will enlarge, but just in case it doesnn't I have written the poem out for you below the picture for clarity.

The Morning Choir by Eric
The morning chorus sings the best in the spring
The mother blue jay twitters to her heart's delight
The sun says to the morning dove, "I cannot sing as you do,
Please sing for me". So it does, it awakens all the animals
the mockingbirds, cardinals and sparrows sing the harmony
while the babies join the choir, the sun shines its brightest
All for the glory of the Lord.
Bird Songs by Bay
Birds sing songs
in the morning
mommies sing to babies
get worms
make nests
birds tweet
birds twitter
joyful sounds


And Leah, well you may need some help interpreting. Read from bottom left to right, then go up one line and read from right to left, and then go upu again for the last letter. It reads, "Birds B Birds sing in the morning"
