Get ready to explore the fascinating world of birds with our updated unit, packed with all-new species like woodpeckers, loons, herons, roadrunners, and so much more! We kick things off with Lesson 1, where you'll dive into the life of the American robin—its looks, habitat, diet, life cycle, and even its predators. It’s a great way to see what’s in store for the rest of the unit and you can download it now with our free sample.
Our notebooking pages keep the original, easy-to-follow style but now come with extra art and guided note-taking to make learning even more fun. You’ll get to map out where robins live across North America, explore interesting proverbs like “the early bird gets the worm,” and learn about the difference between migration and immigration. Plus, you'll discover the many cool functions of feathers!
Each day, you'll dive into geography, looking at things like habitat ranges, cardinal directions, the Great Lakes, mountain ranges, and wetlands. We’ve also got exciting science topics lined up, including echoes, pollination, g-force, keystone species, and the intriguing workings of a woodpecker’s tongue.
You’ll also get to create a report on a bird of your choice, honing your writing skills along the way. By the end, you can share your report with your family, print it out, share it online, or even send it to Gather ‘Round! We’d love to hear from you!
Whether you’re a bird lover or just curious about the feathered friends in your own backyard, this unit is a fantastic way to deepen your knowledge of these amazing creatures. So grab your binoculars and let’s start discovering the winged wonders that await!
