The first-grade team at my school is teaching an all-new unit on BIRDS! We are so excited to learn and teach all about the characteristics and life of these wonderful backyard creatures!
Please help us to add to the fun with these wonderful books, field guides and whiteboards all about birds!
Our students will study from our scientific unit then choose a particular bird to research and write about. This project will enhance the curriculum and add to the fun! Thanks so much from our four first grade classrooms for considering a donation to this project!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
