Summary

The seating arrangement is adjusted before children come to class by placing the cushions in
a semicircular form. Children are met with cardboard containing the information and pictures
of a chosen bird (prepared before by the teacher) when they enter the classroom. While
children looking at the cardboard, teacher asks some question in order to take their attention.

After the students are seated, the teacher takes the card and sits in front of the children. The
chat environment is created by asking these questions. After the student's answer, the teacher
begins to explain why s/he choose the bird.When the teacher’ explanation finish, by saying “I
wonder which birds you have chosen” children are asked to introduce their own cardboard
(which they have prepared with their parent at home and brought to the class). After all the
children have finished their explanation, their work is hung on the board in the classroom.

Teacher with an exciting tone says "Can you imagine just for now you are a busy bird who
try to make a nest. Yees a bird Hooray!! Flap, flap your wings and you can fly higher and
higher, hop hop in the backyard." With this direction, children are allowed to move away
from their places and walk around by acting like a bird. This allows them to collect their
energy and activate them after reading activity. Teacher says, “Little birds, now we're flying
into the backyard to make a nest for ourselves. You must collect the materials we count in
class for these nests. Remember, we need to collect hard materials such as cotton, yarn, and
branches.” The children are asked to walk (fly) into the backyard. they all go to the garden

garden for artistic activity. They divide the tables into two different groups and place the
materials necessary for the event. The first table places the materials necessary for nesting.

children go out to the garden, teacher want them to collect waste material in order to prepare
their nest. Children are allowed to collect materials in the garden for a period of time. After
