What are Լ����Ƶ Adventures classrooms learning this year?

This year Լ����Ƶ Adventures puts the spotlight on the amazing variety within the world of birds, on all kinds of owls, and on long-legged wading birds like cranes, egrets, herons, and storks. For young people, learning about birds means learning about how all living things are connected to and affected by the other organisms—other animals, plants, and human beings—they share their habitats with. 

�³󲹳���Լ����Ƶ Adventures teachers tell us  

“My third grade students go birding in pairs around the two sites set up at our school. My amateur ornithologists have a clipboard with a data sheet and bird guide to take with them. The sheet requires weather conditions, temperature, date, time, number of birds seen, species, and behavior.”

 “I have a rain garden right outside my classroom. At least once a week, sometimes more, we conduct class at the rain garden. Students are encouraged to identify various bird species. Students also discuss ways they can conserve to protect our environment.”

“I teach students with learning disabilities. Because I teach reading, writing, and math basic skills, I insert Լ����Ƶ Adventures into my curriculum. We read it together, annotate the reading, and then develop writing paragraphs from what they have learned.  . . . It is comprehensive, very exciting for the students, and they remember from year to year what they have learned.”
