We have a nest in our wreath on the door, just found it today..excited to watch what happens inside the nest but know enough to leave it alone. Its a door we dont use much so its not a huge deal..just exciting! Would like to do an unit study/lapbook style for this..Would love any ideas...thanks. btw my dd is 7, 1st grade. Thanks!!
