We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

3-25-2020 Bird Watch

We live in an awesome place to see many different varieties of birds.  What kind of birds do you see at your home?  What could you do to help attract more birds to your yard?

Made with Adobe Spark


Here are some activities you could do while observing the birds in your area.


  • Make a list of the different types of birds you see in your yard.  You can use a site like e-bird or All About Birds to help you identify the birds. 
  • Make a graph showing how many of each type of bird you see in your yard this week.  
  • Can you sort the birds you see by size?  What is the smallest bird you saw?  What is the larges bird? 
  • How many different colored birds can you find?  Blue? Yellow? Red? White? Gray? Black? 
  • Draw a picture of a bird that you see in your yard.  Can you label the parts of a bird? 
  • Take pictures of the birds in your yard and make a collage with Adobe Spark.  (You can log in with your school Google Account.) 


We would love to hear from you.  Share your pictures or facts about birds that you have learned.
