Peek In Our Week ___ Thee Buckeye Room___Week Of October 23, 2023

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
Birds- This week we learned about what makes a bird a bird. We learned a bird is a vertebrate and is warm blooded. A bird is born from a hard shelled egg and has feathers. Not all birds can fly and the ones that can not fly are called flightless birds which include penguins, ostriches, and the dodo bird. The jury is still out if chickens can fly.

***I say, I say, That boy ain’t right.***

Did You Know:
Napoleon’s chief of staff organized the hunt. He bought more than 3000 rabbits from local farmers as he wanted to impress his boss. Napoleon and his guests turned up one summer morning in a field, ready to hunt as many rabbits as possible. When the bunnies were released the rabbits didn’t scamper away in fear. Quite the opposite — they bounded toward Napoleon and his hunting party. Napoleon and his buddies soon found themselves bombarded with a barrage of fluffy bunnies. This reminds me of the Monty Python scene in The Life Of Brian.
