Skills to develop
Project Activities
Meet the Birds Around Us
Students explore the school grounds or local area to spot and sketch birds they see. The teacher helps them notice colors, sizes, and behaviors, and they share what they found with the class.
Bird Observations and Partner Sharing
Students photograph or draw the birds they observe and create simple labels with what each bird needs (food, water, shelter, safety). They share their discoveries with the partner class via photos and short descriptions, and compare which birds are similar or different.
What Birds Need to Thrive
Students discuss and draw or create a simple poster showing what they learned about bird health and care. They present their discoveries to the class and reflect on how different environments help birds stay safe and healthy.
