For the Birds

Here is a form that my students use for the science window.  I have a stack of these forms available near the window.  They can get one and use it during writer's workshop or Daily 5.  After writing about their observation, they place it in the science section of a binder that they keep data and work samples in (like a portfolio).

Some of the things they might write about include weather changes, bird feeder activity, squirrels visiting our tree, worm farm happenings, or anything else that we might see in and around the science window related to "wildlife."  So far we haven't seen any bears or tigers.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we have seen quite a few birds.  Check out the photos below!
