Check out the bird photos below to see which birds fifth graders will learn about.
Some of them we have discussed as a class and others have been assigned to individual students. Students spend time looking closely at the bird to analyze field marks (colors, patterns, and other markings that make the bird unique) and then they sketch it in their notebooks. They're drawings are beautiful! They really show how closely the students are looking at their birds. We most often use the All About Birds website or the field guides you see below to learn more.
