Brilliant Brains Bulletin - Seventh
October
Mrs. Redmon
Current Studies and Explorations
In September, we will explore the anatomy and characteristics of different bird species. Through Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Inside Birding series, we will look at size, shape, color pattern, behavior, and habitats of various birds. We will apply what we have learned by taking our skills to the natural environment of the school yard.
These topics will introduce us to "birding" and how to take an interest to a skill. To become a better "birder," one must imagine they are on a scavenger hunt to discover a treasure in nature. If one passionately researches, uses the correct tools, implements the skills they've learned, & accurately records their data & findings; they will be successful!
As a teacher, I want your student to discover this exciting field of science in a way they have never seen it before.
