knitgrl Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ds9 has been into birds for a long time now. I have had my eye on MP's Bird curriculum, but have just run into TGTB's Bird unit. What experiences have you all had with either of these curricula? What would be the pros and cons of using them as a springboard for art and writing for a kid resistant to art and writing?

Brittany1116 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 We have used 5 or so TGTB units, and actually just got in the original version of their Bird unit. Aside from the Weather unit, which just felt dry, we liked all of them so far and I think 8/9 is the perfect age for TGTB science. The updated version looks really nice, and I like how they now bind them and have a student journal. The journal may help with those areas of resistance. Another option is Gather Round North American Birds. You can find a sample of it on their site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitgrl Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Noooo!!! Yesterday, I thought MP was a slam-dunk and I wouldn't have to think about it anymore, and now you are telling me there's yet another option? 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
