In the Classroom
Introduce more nonfiction text into your classroom. Following the presentation of the hummingbird, raptor, and sea bird, challenge your students to create a report on a different animal. Make your own class blog with animals in your area, endangered animals, or invasive animals. If you have not started blogging yet, check out <a href="/content/blog/blogbasics.cfm">TeachersFirst Blog Basics</a>.rnInvestigate the local Audubon Society activities for classes and teachers. Use as a multiple resource for text analysis. Determine text features and text structure with the articles.
At Home
Help your child become a steward of our earth. After reading and learning about hummingbirds, sea birds, and others, observe them in your area. Suggest your son or daughter keep a journal about what they observe.
