Exploring the Animal Kingdom for Kids

PS. I was a little bit hesitant to introduce this subject to Mavi. But I was surprised that he was attentive all throughout our lesson. He even patiently read all the description cards for me. I am happy that he was able to grasp the concept immediately, that not all animals are the same, that they are grouped so we can easily identify their features and understand their characteristics and uniqueness.

Bird Unit Activities
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Son's request was for us to have another bird unit (click here for our previous lessons). So here are the activities and materials I have gathered for this week's unit study.
Bird Nomenclature and Definition Cards. Whenever we study animals, I always start by introducing the different parts of the animals and how they function. I just have to say we've been using 3 part cards method and it has accelerated my son's reading.
Following the nomenclature and definition, my son always works with the activity sheet identifying the parts. Here he can make his own booklet of bird parts using colored pencils and crayons.
Bird parts booklet. This method enables my son to practice his spelling and a much deeper understanding of the bird parts.
Bird species matching. I provided bird pictures in the my Bird Pack which we use to identify the different species of birds. We use our Safari Toob bird collection (and Schleich too).
Bird's feet classification. I made a table of the different types of bird's feet and list down the bird (figures) that we have. This activity aims to identify the the bird's habitat and lifestyle.
Similarly, I printed out a picture of the different shape of the bird's beak from here. With this activity Mavi will be able to tell what the birds eat. This activity was inspired by this one.
Bird's colors. Because Mavi loves to color, I collected these images from the web. The aim of this activity is for Mavi to color the birds based on our figures.
The nomenclature cards, definition and bird cards were also from the Bird Pack. Click the image below for the link.
