Reading Adventure Pack: Birds

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A Reading Adventure Pack takes a close look at birds. After reading a fiction and nonfiction book, scholars craft a thaumatrope, begin a birding journal using their sense of sight and hearing, and build a model bird using supplies from around the house, toys, or outdoor objects.
