Studying the U.S.A. - State Birds
Why does each state in the U.S. have a state bird, a state flower or other state selected ‘thing’? As a teacher, I was once asked this very question. I didn’t know the answer but I went looking. This is what I found…It is done to instill a sense of local state pride and patriotism and is a holdover from the early days when states were almost independent countries.So why have a study on ‘State Birds’? My answer: For the wide range of learning that will occur during such a study! That is why I’ve created a MEGA Bundle of materials designed to provide students with a creative way, an inspiring way, to study ‘State Birds’...
As they are completing their studies, students will exercise valuable skills such as…
- researching
- reading to comprehend informational text
- organizing information
- disseminating information
- Language Arts
- Science
- Geography
This BUNDLE contains over 700+ pages and covers all 50 states and more...
Each state has 14 pages designed for students to write, draw and express what they are learning and/or have learned throughout their studies.
** Cross-curricular learning at it's best. **
- Science: Scientific classification (A page is included for each state to list the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. Also a full coloring page is included if you'd like students to label the parts of each bird.)
- Social Studies: Geography (2 map pages - One to identify the state and one for students to show everywhere in the U.S. the bird lives as well as any migration)
** Designed for multiple levels **
