The Green Jay

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make
 a miniature book for your dolls

       Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Green Jay's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

Green Jay lives in Rio Grande,
A member of a robber band;
He's very beautiful, but oh!
We wish he wouldn't plunder so!

"Bird's Eye View" is an idiom that refers to seeing an event from above or from a larger perspective. This is an obvious reference to bird's seeing something from a flight pattern far above the ground.

       Below is a window decoration of a bird perched on a flowering tree. Students may cut out the template, trace around it and color their own versions of it. Then tape it to a window so that students may imagine a bird, in this case a Robin, sings them just outside the window. 

 

Imagine the Robin is perched on a flowering branch, just outside the window!
