Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students let me know that we haven't done a bird unit and they need it!!! They want to study birds, food chains, and STEM opportunities that center around birds.

A group of flamingoes is called a flamboyance!

This project is for bird related resources. Students will learn in-depth bird facts that connect to biomes and food chains. They will read, research, write, design, and build with these valuable resources. This unit will support students as they examine and study other animals in the food chain. This unit will support a dozen different standards. We can't wait to get started!
