Students Who Have Made Nests

Awesome job, Matthew! Nice touch adding your owl and egg to the nest! Seeing your smiling face made me smile! 😁 I love the video you guys put together!

So Cool! Thanks for sharing Asher, from Ms. Bois class! That's one cute mutt bird in your nest!

WOW!! What a cool find, Leo!! I love the color a robin's egg is! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

So cool! Lucy Seavey from Ms. Miedema's first grade class shared her nest. The feathers are beautiful Lucy! 




Great job with your nests, Elijah and family! :)

It looks like Pete the Cat and Llama might be needing a nest soon! So exciting to see what is happening in Mrs. William's Kindergarten class at Congin! I can't wait to see the eggs hatch!
