Page 1 shows 16 pictured birds with tally boxes, from robin and chickadee to cardinal and other bird, plus Name and Date lines. Page 2 is a bar graph, Types of Birds, numbered 1 to 14, with three questions: which bird you saw the most, the least and how many in all.
Can I use the Backyard Bird Watching Tally and Graph at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 1st Grade to 3rd Grade National Bird Day resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. There are 27 National Bird Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our National Bird Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are National Bird Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 6-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these National Bird Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
