How was you Earth Day? Did you do anything special to celebrate the Earth?
Here are some of your great projects!
Today we will finish our Earth Day project by improving our plans! What did you do yesterday? How can you make it even better?
Today, if it's not raining, I challenge you to go outside and look for birds! We are going to keep track of how many birds we see doing different activities. Print out the observation sheet below or use your notebooks. Each time you see a bird doing one of the activities, put a check mark in the box. When you are finished observing, count up the check marks in each box and write the total number.
Which activity were birds doing the most?
Which activity were birds doing the least?
Were any of the activities equal, or the same?
Did you know that a chicken is a bird too? What do you know about chickens?
I know that chickens live on farms, lay eggs, and cannot fly well. I also know that farmers often keep their chickens in coops. A chicken coop is like a home for chickens! I found this fun chicken counting game! Check it out and practice counting!

Do you think chicken coops really look like the coop in the game?
No, it's just pretend. Many things we see in books, games, or on tv are just pretend. What is the opposite of pretend? Real! We have learned that we call books with real information nonfiction and books that are just pretend stories are called fiction. We are going to end with some storytelling. I am going to start a fiction (pretend) story about a chicken and I want you to finish it! Get out your notebooks and finish the story below by drawing a picture and/or writing the words.
Ready? Go!
Once upon there was a chicken named Ralph. Ralph lived in a chicken coop made out of pizza! Chickens do not eat pizza, so he never wanted to eat his coop, but he did enjoy smelling it! There was a problem though! Some of the other animals on the farm did like to eat pizza! The cows, the dogs, the pigs and the horses all wanted to eat Ralph's chicken coop. One day the cows...
What will happen next? You get to finish the story! Will Ralph find a solution?
