Birds on a Wire in Kindergarten

Ms. Magner's kindergarteners used the SmartBoard lesson, Birds on a Wire in an innovative way.  We've all used different ways to line up students to leave the classroom.  Ms. Magner used the numbers on the spinning birds as table numbers to line up her students.  She pressed even numbers and one odd.  Students noticed one bird's number didn't spin.  When she asked about the remaining tables (odd ones) students were able to deduce that the odd numbers were left so the odd birds didn't spin.  This was a great visual reminder and episodic learning for the kindergarteners.
