Kindergarten Bird Study, with St. Francis's Guidance

In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi—patron saint of animals, whose feast day is October 4—we decided to honor his love for nature in a special way.

As a class, we made bird feeders to help care for the birds around us. We hung them behind the church so our feathered friends can enjoy a little treat.  It was a wonderful opportunity to connect our science learning with faith and stewardship of God's creation.
