A bird unit study can be a great zoology unit for schools and homeschools at any time of the year. Of course, I especially think of studying birds in the spring and before Easter, a natural time to study eggs. But whenever you choose to study birds, there are lots of amazing Montessori-inspired bird resources available!

Thank you for featuring our mini bird book and thank you for so many other links!! We’re almost finished with our bird unit. The kids have each chosen a specific bird to learn more about and Little J will be writing a report on his choice. We are planning a visit to a raptor center as our end of unit celebration.
My pleasure, Kelly! Your bird unit has been absolutely fabulous! And I love that you have an end of unit celebration … so much fun! 🙂
I really enjoy reading your post when you round up links specifically to a unit. I love that first work from Spell Out Loud. Thank you for helping me find so many wonderful Ideas. I also want to let you know how much I appreciate you linking to both of my blogs. I especially like hearing from you in the comments. Thank you so much!!

Thanks, JDaniel4’s Mom! Bird seed really does have lots of uses … and I never thought about how much fun it was until I taught young children! 🙂

Perfect timing! My boys took a trip to the local world bird sanctuary today with my their grandparents. They loved it and my 2 year old has been saying, “bird, bird, bird.” all evening! I’ll have to find some fun stuff to do with them tomorrow to continue the learning.
Thanks, Jackie! I’m glad the timing was right … how great that you’ll be extending the experience! 🙂

We feed the birds in the winter, so looking out our window is like being at a bird zoo. My daughter is currently obsessed with birds as she thinks they are all her pets. We’ve been doing a lot of bird learning lately, so I’ll be bookmarking this page to try out a lot of these learning activities with her.
