Birds!

Students are learning about Birds this week and what makes them part of this animal group. Students have opportunities to activate their schema, ask questions and record new learning about this topic. Students are focused on being more active scientists!

What makes a bird a bird?

• has feathers
• warm blooded
• has a backbone 
• lays eggs 
• breathes air with lungs

We learned about a live camera on a Bald Eagle's nest in Pennsylvania.  Students were excited to watch their every move.  We witnessed a mother feeding its babies a dead fish.  Students were amazed to see it live and observe how big and high up the eagles build their nest.  We plan to look at it periodically.
