Welcome to the "Here Birdy, Birdy" Kindergarten Telecollaborative Project
We are a mighty group of Kansas Kindergarten students who are looking to link up with four other classrooms in North America. Our mission is to discover how many birds we can feed in a school year's time, what color of birds visit our classrooms in each season, and how much birdseed is consumed.
What would you need to do for the project?
Obtain the following:
- Hanging bird feeder - this does not need to be an expensive product, just strong enough to hold birdseed and a few birds
- Something from which to hang the bird feeder - we use a simple shepherd's hook.
- Birdseed
Add the following activities to your daily calendar time - Takes less than 5 minutes daily.
- Count the number of birds at the feeder - shade in the bar graph with those numbers
- Tally the colors of birds at the feeder
- Measure how many cups of seed was added to the feeder that day
On Fridays
- Post your weekly data to our project wiki - Here. This only takes a minute (Really!)
Periodically
- Upload digital photos of your class learning through our project (Names are not required) to the wiki.
- Share student drawings
- Post student reflections and messages to the other partner schools on our wiki.
