This page contains links to a pair of lessons that support kindergarten and second grade students' development of their ability to organize information for themselves and for others. They also strengthen the visual literacy of children, and several other skills central to developing information fluency.

What an awesome idea. I think it's incredibly important to get kids excited about nature at a young age so that they can enjoy it, protect it, and, hopefully, get out in it way more often than they seem to now! I chose to do a Comic Life strip showing how this idea could progress to the senior level and an Advanced Environmental Science class. I've attached the file. I hope it's not a problem to open it. I always use Rapidshare to post files and sometimes it can be temperamental. http://rapidshare.com/files/98344874/birdswebsite.jpg.html Brian Moline
