City Heights Bird Observation Scene
Each student draws a City Heights bird scene and labels or dictates how the bird uses a tree, sky, or open space to stay safe, eat, drink, and rest, adding a bird or weather observation as evidence. After a teacher check-in, the student revises the scene and explains it during the gallery walk.
City Heights Bird Habitat Map and Mural
Students collaboratively sort picture cards and create a class map and mural with hawks, crows, pigeons, and seagulls, habitat features, weather observations, and arrows showing connections to food, water, shelter, and space. Teams use members’ observations, revise placements after feedback, and explain their findings during the City Heights Bird Gallery Walk.
