Journey Mapping

As each new animal appears, briefly pause and track Little Bird’s journey on a simple chart or map using pictures or icons.

Animal Migration Exploration

Show images of birds, butterflies, sea turtles, and caribou. Discuss why animals migrate for food, weather, or safety. Introduce the word ‘migrate’ and have students move around the room pretending to migrate like different animals.

Boundary Talk

When Grace explains that fixing things is not the child’s job, pause and discuss what responsibilities children do and do not have in families.

Personal Connection Journaling

Have students draw or dictate about a time when an adult they care about had a hard day. Emphasize that children are not responsible for fixing adult problems.
