My Project

Our class is doing a literacy module where we are researching birds and what they need to survive. To really get them excited about their literacy work, I am incorporating school trips and visits to explore nature and observe birds in their natural habitats.

Using binoculars would be helpful and bring their observations to another level.

We also need clipboards to make notations when we are out in the wild. Hands-on instruction makes learning come alive and will allow students to use their multiple senses to explore the world of birds.
