Tell children that in the winter months especially, we can help feed the birds by putting out bird seed. Several times during the day return to window and observe birds feeding on the seeds. Have children assigned to feed class pet.
Children can examine feathers, nests, binoculars, or bird study guides .
Visit a veterinarian's office or have her bring a few small pets to school. Model appropriate handling of pets. Use particle board to make platform bird feeders. Children can help use a hand drill to drill four holes in the corners of the board. Hang on tree with knotted clothes line.
