An experienced teacher was advising me about a specific method of read-a-loud called “text to self” this week and pointed out that, especially with this particular method, I need to relate to the text personally and think those connections out loud to the students as I read the book to them. (My connections to the books I had been thinking of reading to the students all had to do with my own two children rather than to myself). The purpose of thinking these connections out loud is to model how good readers stop and ask questions, think about, and connect or define what they do not connect with in the text as they are reading. It occurred to me that making subject matter personal to the students, or even as in this particular case, revealing how it is personal to the teacher could be the key to engaging students in any subject area. Perhaps this is why I never had a favorite subject in school; it really depended on the teacher. Maybe those teachers were the ones who found a way to connect material to me personally or who were brave enough to reveal how they connected to it. The focus should be on the students’ learning and self-expression of that learning, but the teacher revealing her or himself every so often teaches students that the classroom is not only a safe place to “put yourself out there” but how making a personal connection makes subject matter more relevant and interesting. Even as people around the world spend more time behind screens, they are doing so in order to make personal connections by either expressing themselves personally or by learning from others’ expression. So, create a safe space and make it all personal for your students and for yourself. | <urn:uuid:0e9842d1-8111-4b00-a087-c06447787db0> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://uncommonteacher.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/do-take-this-personally/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646178.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318224057-20180319004057-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.986647 | 338 | 2.953125 | 3 | <urn:uuid:0e9842d1-8111-4b00-a087-c06447787db0>_0 | An experienced teacher was advising me about a specific method of read-a-loud called “text to self” this week and pointed out that, especially with this particular method, I need to relate to the text personally and think those connections out loud to the students as I read the book to them. | 292 |

The purpose of thinking these connections out loud is to model how good readers stop and ask questions, think about, and connect or define what they do not connect with in the text as they are reading. It occurred to me that making subject matter personal to the students, or even as in this particular case, revealing how it is personal to the teacher could be the key to engaging students in any subject area. Perhaps this is why I never had a favorite subject in school; it really depended on the teacher. Maybe those teachers were the ones who found a way to connect material to me personally or who were brave enough to reveal how they connected to it. The focus should be on the students’ learning and self-expression of that learning, but the teacher revealing her or himself every so often teaches students that the classroom is not only a safe place to “put yourself out there” but how making a personal connection makes subject matter more relevant and interesting. Even as people around the world spend more time behind screens, they are doing so in order to make personal connections by either expressing themselves personally or by learning from others’ expression. So, create a safe space and make it all personal for your students and for yourself. | <urn:uuid:0e9842d1-8111-4b00-a087-c06447787db0> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://uncommonteacher.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/do-take-this-personally/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646178.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318224057-20180319004057-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.986647 | 338 | 2.953125 | 3 | <urn:uuid:0e9842d1-8111-4b00-a087-c06447787db0>_7 | Even as people around the world spend more time behind screens, they are doing so in order to make personal connections by either expressing themselves personally or by learning from others’ expression. | 202 |

Michigan: Astronomy experts have said that they have discovered another dwarf planet on the extreme edges of the galaxy and it is 13.6 billion kilometers away from our sun.
This planet has been discovered by the Michigan University experts, this planet is almost the size of the state of Iowa and its diameter is 530 kilometers.
This dwarf planets completes its orbit around the sun in about 1,100 years, although it has been called as the sixth dwarf planet of our solar system but the final decision will still take a few months.
Pluto was declared a dwarf planet in 2006 and till now four more dwarf planets have been added to the list, these include Sirius, Eris, Haumea and Makemake.
This new planet fits all the conditions of being a dwarf planet due to its size and it is being hoped that it will finally be added in the dwarf planet list next year.
In the past it was thought that there are only 9 planets in the solar system, but after lengthy arguments the international organisation of astronomers released a new ranking in which Pluto was moved from the common planets list to dwarf planets list.
Although the classification of dwarf planet is very complicated but there are four main conditions.
It should revolve around the sun, it should have enough matter and gravity that it forms a spherical shape, but not enough to clear the area near its orbit around the sun and it should not be revolving around any other planet.
Astronomers have said that there is a large belt of celestial bodies on the extreme edges of the galaxy called the “Copper Belt”.
Pluto and other dwarf planets belong to the copper belt and according to estimates there are a 100 to 200 dwarf planets in this belt. | <urn:uuid:6fa1337f-b8d4-4a87-a780-dc8cbe9051a0> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://inewsjournal.com/another-dwarf-planet-discovered-solar-system/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647600.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321082653-20180321102653-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.971502 | 350 | 3.671875 | 4 | <urn:uuid:6fa1337f-b8d4-4a87-a780-dc8cbe9051a0>_0 | Michigan: Astronomy experts have said that they have discovered another dwarf planet on the extreme edges of the galaxy and it is 13.6 billion kilometers away from our sun. | 172 |

Michigan: Astronomy experts have said that they have discovered another dwarf planet on the extreme edges of the galaxy and it is 13.6 billion kilometers away from our sun.
This planet has been discovered by the Michigan University experts, this planet is almost the size of the state of Iowa and its diameter is 530 kilometers.
This dwarf planets completes its orbit around the sun in about 1,100 years, although it has been called as the sixth dwarf planet of our solar system but the final decision will still take a few months.
Pluto was declared a dwarf planet in 2006 and till now four more dwarf planets have been added to the list, these include Sirius, Eris, Haumea and Makemake.
This new planet fits all the conditions of being a dwarf planet due to its size and it is being hoped that it will finally be added in the dwarf planet list next year.
In the past it was thought that there are only 9 planets in the solar system, but after lengthy arguments the international organisation of astronomers released a new ranking in which Pluto was moved from the common planets list to dwarf planets list.
Although the classification of dwarf planet is very complicated but there are four main conditions.
It should revolve around the sun, it should have enough matter and gravity that it forms a spherical shape, but not enough to clear the area near its orbit around the sun and it should not be revolving around any other planet.

Your kitchen can double as a classroom as school winds to a close and little hands go in search of amusement.
"Cooking touches on so many life skills — math, science, reading, social studies, history, nutrition," says chef and author Cricket Azima, founder of The Creative Kitchen, a company aimed at promoting culinary skills among children.
"It teaches basics like taking turns, having ownership of a task and being able to successfully complete it."
And the rewards are much yummier than a report card. The trick, Azima says, is finding recipes and tasks that are age-appropriate and set your child up for success. She offers the following pointers.
Choose foods you want them to eat. "A lot of parents relegate cooking with kids to pizza and cupcakes. But kids can help with pretty much any recipe. Even a 11/2-year-old can help tear herbs. The more kids are exposed to preparing different foods, the less foreign they are and the more likely they are to eat them."
That includes salad. "Start with a salad that's heavy on fruits and vegetables and cheese, and add a little bit of lettuce. Next time add a little more lettuce." And whatever you do, don't call it salad. "Give it a fun name. I make a couscous salad that I call counting couscous. I have a rice salad that I call rainbow rice."
Celebrate the season. "Summer lends itself to fresh fruits and veggies. Try making them into a fruit soup that allows for a lot of fun and isn't an exact science but more of an art. You can cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and add it to fruit juice or coconut milk. Maybe float some marshmallows in it."
Do the prep work. "If you're working with mango, for example, I like to cut it away from the pit, take the skin off and cut it into strips that a child can cut. If it's carrots, I peel them and slice them thin enough to cut with a plastic knife."
Don't hover. "It's frustrating for the child and for everybody if the parent is constantly saying, 'Oh no! That's not how you do it!' and trying to take over the task." The end result might not look ideal, but that's not really the point, now, is it?
Azima's fruit salsa offers plenty of slicing and stirring for little hands, along with nutrients for little bodies.

And the rewards are much yummier than a report card. The trick, Azima says, is finding recipes and tasks that are age-appropriate and set your child up for success. She offers the following pointers.
Choose foods you want them to eat. "A lot of parents relegate cooking with kids to pizza and cupcakes. But kids can help with pretty much any recipe. Even a 11/2-year-old can help tear herbs. The more kids are exposed to preparing different foods, the less foreign they are and the more likely they are to eat them."
That includes salad. "Start with a salad that's heavy on fruits and vegetables and cheese, and add a little bit of lettuce. Next time add a little more lettuce." And whatever you do, don't call it salad. "Give it a fun name. I make a couscous salad that I call counting couscous. I have a rice salad that I call rainbow rice."
Celebrate the season. "Summer lends itself to fresh fruits and veggies. Try making them into a fruit soup that allows for a lot of fun and isn't an exact science but more of an art. You can cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and add it to fruit juice or coconut milk. Maybe float some marshmallows in it."
Do the prep work. "If you're working with mango, for example, I like to cut it away from the pit, take the skin off and cut it into strips that a child can cut. If it's carrots, I peel them and slice them thin enough to cut with a plastic knife."
Don't hover. "It's frustrating for the child and for everybody if the parent is constantly saying, 'Oh no! That's not how you do it!' and trying to take over the task." The end result might not look ideal, but that's not really the point, now, is it?
Azima's fruit salsa offers plenty of slicing and stirring for little hands, along with nutrients for little bodies.

Your kitchen can double as a classroom as school winds to a close and little hands go in search of amusement.
"Cooking touches on so many life skills — math, science, reading, social studies, history, nutrition," says chef and author Cricket Azima, founder of The Creative Kitchen, a company aimed at promoting culinary skills among children.
"It teaches basics like taking turns, having ownership of a task and being able to successfully complete it."
And the rewards are much yummier than a report card. The trick, Azima says, is finding recipes and tasks that are age-appropriate and set your child up for success. She offers the following pointers.
Choose foods you want them to eat. "A lot of parents relegate cooking with kids to pizza and cupcakes. But kids can help with pretty much any recipe. Even a 11/2-year-old can help tear herbs. The more kids are exposed to preparing different foods, the less foreign they are and the more likely they are to eat them."
That includes salad. "Start with a salad that's heavy on fruits and vegetables and cheese, and add a little bit of lettuce. Next time add a little more lettuce." And whatever you do, don't call it salad. "Give it a fun name. I make a couscous salad that I call counting couscous. I have a rice salad that I call rainbow rice."
Celebrate the season. "Summer lends itself to fresh fruits and veggies. Try making them into a fruit soup that allows for a lot of fun and isn't an exact science but more of an art. You can cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and add it to fruit juice or coconut milk. Maybe float some marshmallows in it."
Do the prep work. "If you're working with mango, for example, I like to cut it away from the pit, take the skin off and cut it into strips that a child can cut. If it's carrots, I peel them and slice them thin enough to cut with a plastic knife."
Don't hover. "It's frustrating for the child and for everybody if the parent is constantly saying, 'Oh no! That's not how you do it!' and trying to take over the task." The end result might not look ideal, but that's not really the point, now, is it?
Azima's fruit salsa offers plenty of slicing and stirring for little hands, along with nutrients for little bodies.

Celebrate the season. "Summer lends itself to fresh fruits and veggies. Try making them into a fruit soup that allows for a lot of fun and isn't an exact science but more of an art. You can cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and add it to fruit juice or coconut milk. Maybe float some marshmallows in it."
Do the prep work. "If you're working with mango, for example, I like to cut it away from the pit, take the skin off and cut it into strips that a child can cut. If it's carrots, I peel them and slice them thin enough to cut with a plastic knife."
Don't hover. "It's frustrating for the child and for everybody if the parent is constantly saying, 'Oh no! That's not how you do it!' and trying to take over the task." The end result might not look ideal, but that's not really the point, now, is it?

Your kitchen can double as a classroom as school winds to a close and little hands go in search of amusement.
"Cooking touches on so many life skills — math, science, reading, social studies, history, nutrition," says chef and author Cricket Azima, founder of The Creative Kitchen, a company aimed at promoting culinary skills among children.
"It teaches basics like taking turns, having ownership of a task and being able to successfully complete it."
And the rewards are much yummier than a report card. The trick, Azima says, is finding recipes and tasks that are age-appropriate and set your child up for success. She offers the following pointers.
Choose foods you want them to eat. "A lot of parents relegate cooking with kids to pizza and cupcakes. But kids can help with pretty much any recipe. Even a 11/2-year-old can help tear herbs. The more kids are exposed to preparing different foods, the less foreign they are and the more likely they are to eat them."
That includes salad. "Start with a salad that's heavy on fruits and vegetables and cheese, and add a little bit of lettuce. Next time add a little more lettuce." And whatever you do, don't call it salad. "Give it a fun name. I make a couscous salad that I call counting couscous. I have a rice salad that I call rainbow rice."

17 impossible tales unearthed from the canyon.
In 2013, Jack Dublin and family traveled to the Grand Canyon for a week of whitewater rafting. When a monsoon rolled in, forcing them to higher ground, they sheltered in a cave unseen for nearly 150 years. What they found inside — several journals from the time of the Gold Rush — upended conventional views of North American history, leading one authority to call the journals “the greatest manuscript discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls.”
About the Author:
Jack Dublin was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts; attended kindergarten in West Germany; graduated high school in Dale City, Virginia; and earned his baccalaureate degree from the University of Arizona. He had little interest in history — much less the 49er Gold Rush — until his love of travel and exploration intersected a swirling debate on the lost history of mankind.
Mr. Dublin lives in the Pacific Northwest with his beloved wife and their four darling children.

17 impossible tales unearthed from the canyon.
In 2013, Jack Dublin and family traveled to the Grand Canyon for a week of whitewater rafting. When a monsoon rolled in, forcing them to higher ground, they sheltered in a cave unseen for nearly 150 years. What they found inside — several journals from the time of the Gold Rush — upended conventional views of North American history, leading one authority to call the journals “the greatest manuscript discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls.”

Find the missing number to balance the calculations. An excellent tool for reinforcing an understanding of the role of the equals sign. Choose one objective, or many. You can choose all the objectives for a single year group (or multiple year groups). You can also choose to balance between different types of calculations (eg subtraction and division)
This game is now part of the 'Calculations' collection, which includes the following 17 games and resources: Column Addition, Expanded Addition, Expanded Addition - Place Value Counters, Number Bonds(2), Addition - Digit Drag, Missing Symbols, Column Subtraction, Column Subtraction using Place Value Counters, Counting on to find difference on a beadstring, Multiplication Grid Method, Multiplication Written Method, Ratio and Scaling Numbers, Representing Multiplication, Division by Chunking Up, Division by Chunking Down, Formal Written Division - Round Up or Down?, Short Division Writen Formal Method.
The Calculations app is available on Google Play and the App Store.
Use the arrow keys to guide your bricks and destroy the wall.
A great game for practising a wide range of mathematical skills. Levels are based on objectives from the new maths curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6. Topics include: multiplication, addition, reading numbers, subtraction, fractions of numbers, Roman numerals, division, converting fractions to decimals and percentages and simplifying fractions.
You can choose to play a single level, a selection of levels, or choose all the objectives from a year group (within the same topic). There is a full list of levels below.
This game is available on both Google Play and the App Store. A free version of the app is available with just the multiplication levels.
October 2012 - I have added a new game which represents multiplication on a number line and using a dotty array. It is ideal as an introduction to the grid method, as it provides a concrete image of how and why we partition numbers to multiply. Click here to play.
View full screen in your browser. This ITP allows you to represent multiplication as repeated addition using a grid of blocks or counters.It can be used to develop children’s understanding of multiplication and to develop links between the different representations and notation. The dynamic images should help children to understand why 5 x 9 means that the 5 is multiplied by the 9, and to recognise that multiplication is a commutative operation. | <urn:uuid:953bb049-50df-45b6-acc4-f807c9dbe29d> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/category/63/year-3-block-d-understand-that-division-is-the-inverse-of-multiplication-and-vice-versa-use-this-to-derive-and-record-related-multiplication-and-division-number-sentences | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647768.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180322034041-20180322054041-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.908584 | 511 | 3.890625 | 4 | <urn:uuid:953bb049-50df-45b6-acc4-f807c9dbe29d>_0 | Find the missing number to balance the calculations. | 52 |

Robin Migration Update: March 31, 1998
Today's Report Includes:
Millions of robins were held back by cold weather on the first day of spring, but their migration continued in earnest last week. Imagine how busy you'd be if Journey North observers had spotted them all! Luckily we have "only" 63 sightings for you to add to your migration map today.
This was the first big wave of migratory birds to flood into the northern U.S. states and cross the border into Canada. In addition to robins, many other species were along for the ride: Great-blue herons, wood ducks, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer and others. These maps show weather conditions leading up to March 25th-- on that single day 16 robins were reported and another 15 the next 2 days! Why were this such good time to migrate?
Comments From Northern Observers
A Day in the Life...of a Migrating Robin
What is the typical traveling day of a migrating robin? Let's go along for the ride:
Robins are very unusual migrants in that they can migrate by day or by night! In autumn, many huge robin flights take place in daylight, but in spring, they often fly by night. Why do you think there is a difference between seasons? Might it have something to do with their different food choices in spring and fall?
In spring, robins feel restless, ready to migrate. Their whole body is urging them to establish a territory, mate, and raise babies--but they can't start any of these until they arrive on their breeding grounds.
When cold weather holds them back, robins spend their days searching for food and eating as much as they possibly can. The berries and fruits still sticking to trees after the long winter are the ones that taste the worst--birds eat their favorite berries first of all, just like people eat our favorite Halloween candy first, so the last ones sitting around are
just about always the worst kinds. And for robins, any last berries hanging around are even starting to get a little rancid, so they will only eat them now only if they really can't find anything better. Fortunately, right when they need it most, the ground starts thawing, and suddenly big fat succulent earthworms are ripe for the picking!
Robins eat a lot of food, especially during migration. Their bodies must get as fat as possible to allow them to fly long distances without stopping. This would be unhealthy for us humans, because fat tissue might damage our hearts or block our arteries and veins, but bird bodies are made to store fat very efficiently in a healthy way. When a robin wakes up at first light, he (and the first migrating robins are ALWAYS males) is hungry! He immediately starts searching the ground for any worms or insects he can find. Yummmmm! Cold breakfast!
When his stomach gets full, he starts feeling restless. Migrating robins usually stay in flocks, which is one good way to tell if a robin you're seeing is a migrant headed farther north or one that is going to stay.
You can learn alot by listening to them too: If one of the robins spots a person or other mild danger, if makes its "whinny" call, and the other robins check it out. If the danger gets closer, they take off. If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating. All the robins in the flock are antsy to move on, and suddenly they do--the whole flock just picks up and leaves! In the air or taking off, they often
give their "Zeeeeup!" call, a contact call for migrating.
If the weather is warm and migrating conditions are right, the flock will head in a northerly direction, but if they suddenly spot a promising looking field they'll drop down for a break and a snack. If the weather is too cold for migrating, they'll search for likely fields where they can find food in more
of a circle, all around the area they're in. Sometimes, if the weather turns very cold, they'll actually head south again in their search for food.
All day long they eat and move about restlessly. When night comes, they sleep. Until, one night, when they have lots of food in their stomachs, lots of fat on their bodies, and the weather has been just warm enough, suddenly they REALLY take off!
Robin daytime movements are pretty low to the ground. But at night, when they have trouble seeing shadows, they rise higher to avoid bonking into things. They may fly as high as a mile up in the air, though usually they fly lower than that.
When each robin finally arrives on his territory, he bursts into song! It sounds as if he's singing from sheer joy to be home, but as humans, we really can't be sure how birds really feel. We do know that his song tells other robins to STAY OUT! And when migrating robins hear a territorial
robin's song, it makes them more restless to press north to find their own territories.
Has YOUR Robin Returned Yet?
When WE hear a robin's song, we know that this is our very own robin--the one who will stay here for the summer. What a welcome sound that is!
The first day you hear this song, you know your robin has arrived and is ready to spend another summer with you.
Challenge Question #10: Where Was the Robin Yesterday?
Robins migrate at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. On the first day of spring, when night is exactly as long as day everywhere on the planet, how far might a robin go on its night flight? Look on a map and see if you can guess what town or city your first robin of spring might have left the night before.

Robin daytime movements are pretty low to the ground. But at night, when they have trouble seeing shadows, they rise higher to avoid bonking into things. They may fly as high as a mile up in the air, though usually they fly lower than that.
When each robin finally arrives on his territory, he bursts into song! It sounds as if he's singing from sheer joy to be home, but as humans, we really can't be sure how birds really feel. We do know that his song tells other robins to STAY OUT! And when migrating robins hear a territorial
robin's song, it makes them more restless to press north to find their own territories.
Has YOUR Robin Returned Yet?
When WE hear a robin's song, we know that this is our very own robin--the one who will stay here for the summer. What a welcome sound that is!
The first day you hear this song, you know your robin has arrived and is ready to spend another summer with you.
Challenge Question #10: Where Was the Robin Yesterday?
Robins migrate at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. On the first day of spring, when night is exactly as long as day everywhere on the planet, how far might a robin go on its night flight? Look on a map and see if you can guess what town or city your first robin of spring might have left the night before.

Robin Migration Update: March 31, 1998
Today's Report Includes:
Millions of robins were held back by cold weather on the first day of spring, but their migration continued in earnest last week. Imagine how busy you'd be if Journey North observers had spotted them all! Luckily we have "only" 63 sightings for you to add to your migration map today.
This was the first big wave of migratory birds to flood into the northern U.S. states and cross the border into Canada. In addition to robins, many other species were along for the ride: Great-blue herons, wood ducks, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer and others. These maps show weather conditions leading up to March 25th-- on that single day 16 robins were reported and another 15 the next 2 days! Why were this such good time to migrate?
Comments From Northern Observers
A Day in the Life...of a Migrating Robin
What is the typical traveling day of a migrating robin? Let's go along for the ride:
Robins are very unusual migrants in that they can migrate by day or by night! In autumn, many huge robin flights take place in daylight, but in spring, they often fly by night. Why do you think there is a difference between seasons? Might it have something to do with their different food choices in spring and fall?
In spring, robins feel restless, ready to migrate. Their whole body is urging them to establish a territory, mate, and raise babies--but they can't start any of these until they arrive on their breeding grounds.
When cold weather holds them back, robins spend their days searching for food and eating as much as they possibly can. The berries and fruits still sticking to trees after the long winter are the ones that taste the worst--birds eat their favorite berries first of all, just like people eat our favorite Halloween candy first, so the last ones sitting around are
just about always the worst kinds. And for robins, any last berries hanging around are even starting to get a little rancid, so they will only eat them now only if they really can't find anything better. Fortunately, right when they need it most, the ground starts thawing, and suddenly big fat succulent earthworms are ripe for the picking!
Robins eat a lot of food, especially during migration. Their bodies must get as fat as possible to allow them to fly long distances without stopping. This would be unhealthy for us humans, because fat tissue might damage our hearts or block our arteries and veins, but bird bodies are made to store fat very efficiently in a healthy way. When a robin wakes up at first light, he (and the first migrating robins are ALWAYS males) is hungry! He immediately starts searching the ground for any worms or insects he can find. Yummmmm! Cold breakfast!
When his stomach gets full, he starts feeling restless. Migrating robins usually stay in flocks, which is one good way to tell if a robin you're seeing is a migrant headed farther north or one that is going to stay.
You can learn alot by listening to them too: If one of the robins spots a person or other mild danger, if makes its "whinny" call, and the other robins check it out. If the danger gets closer, they take off. If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating. All the robins in the flock are antsy to move on, and suddenly they do--the whole flock just picks up and leaves! In the air or taking off, they often
give their "Zeeeeup!" call, a contact call for migrating.
If the weather is warm and migrating conditions are right, the flock will head in a northerly direction, but if they suddenly spot a promising looking field they'll drop down for a break and a snack. If the weather is too cold for migrating, they'll search for likely fields where they can find food in more
of a circle, all around the area they're in. Sometimes, if the weather turns very cold, they'll actually head south again in their search for food.
All day long they eat and move about restlessly. When night comes, they sleep. Until, one night, when they have lots of food in their stomachs, lots of fat on their bodies, and the weather has been just warm enough, suddenly they REALLY take off!

If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating. All the robins in the flock are antsy to move on, and suddenly they do--the whole flock just picks up and leaves! In the air or taking off, they often
give their "Zeeeeup!" call, a contact call for migrating.
If the weather is warm and migrating conditions are right, the flock will head in a northerly direction, but if they suddenly spot a promising looking field they'll drop down for a break and a snack. If the weather is too cold for migrating, they'll search for likely fields where they can find food in more
of a circle, all around the area they're in. Sometimes, if the weather turns very cold, they'll actually head south again in their search for food.
All day long they eat and move about restlessly. When night comes, they sleep. Until, one night, when they have lots of food in their stomachs, lots of fat on their bodies, and the weather has been just warm enough, suddenly they REALLY take off!
Robin daytime movements are pretty low to the ground. But at night, when they have trouble seeing shadows, they rise higher to avoid bonking into things. They may fly as high as a mile up in the air, though usually they fly lower than that.
When each robin finally arrives on his territory, he bursts into song! It sounds as if he's singing from sheer joy to be home, but as humans, we really can't be sure how birds really feel. We do know that his song tells other robins to STAY OUT! And when migrating robins hear a territorial
robin's song, it makes them more restless to press north to find their own territories.
Has YOUR Robin Returned Yet?
When WE hear a robin's song, we know that this is our very own robin--the one who will stay here for the summer. What a welcome sound that is!
The first day you hear this song, you know your robin has arrived and is ready to spend another summer with you.
Challenge Question #10: Where Was the Robin Yesterday?
Robins migrate at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. On the first day of spring, when night is exactly as long as day everywhere on the planet, how far might a robin go on its night flight? Look on a map and see if you can guess what town or city your first robin of spring might have left the night before.

Robin Migration Update: March 31, 1998
Today's Report Includes:
Millions of robins were held back by cold weather on the first day of spring, but their migration continued in earnest last week. Imagine how busy you'd be if Journey North observers had spotted them all! Luckily we have "only" 63 sightings for you to add to your migration map today.
This was the first big wave of migratory birds to flood into the northern U.S. states and cross the border into Canada. In addition to robins, many other species were along for the ride: Great-blue herons, wood ducks, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer and others. These maps show weather conditions leading up to March 25th-- on that single day 16 robins were reported and another 15 the next 2 days! Why were this such good time to migrate?
Comments From Northern Observers
A Day in the Life...of a Migrating Robin
What is the typical traveling day of a migrating robin? Let's go along for the ride:
Robins are very unusual migrants in that they can migrate by day or by night! In autumn, many huge robin flights take place in daylight, but in spring, they often fly by night. Why do you think there is a difference between seasons? Might it have something to do with their different food choices in spring and fall?
In spring, robins feel restless, ready to migrate. Their whole body is urging them to establish a territory, mate, and raise babies--but they can't start any of these until they arrive on their breeding grounds.
When cold weather holds them back, robins spend their days searching for food and eating as much as they possibly can. The berries and fruits still sticking to trees after the long winter are the ones that taste the worst--birds eat their favorite berries first of all, just like people eat our favorite Halloween candy first, so the last ones sitting around are
just about always the worst kinds. And for robins, any last berries hanging around are even starting to get a little rancid, so they will only eat them now only if they really can't find anything better. Fortunately, right when they need it most, the ground starts thawing, and suddenly big fat succulent earthworms are ripe for the picking!
Robins eat a lot of food, especially during migration. Their bodies must get as fat as possible to allow them to fly long distances without stopping. This would be unhealthy for us humans, because fat tissue might damage our hearts or block our arteries and veins, but bird bodies are made to store fat very efficiently in a healthy way. When a robin wakes up at first light, he (and the first migrating robins are ALWAYS males) is hungry! He immediately starts searching the ground for any worms or insects he can find. Yummmmm! Cold breakfast!
When his stomach gets full, he starts feeling restless. Migrating robins usually stay in flocks, which is one good way to tell if a robin you're seeing is a migrant headed farther north or one that is going to stay.
You can learn alot by listening to them too: If one of the robins spots a person or other mild danger, if makes its "whinny" call, and the other robins check it out. If the danger gets closer, they take off. If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating.

This would be unhealthy for us humans, because fat tissue might damage our hearts or block our arteries and veins, but bird bodies are made to store fat very efficiently in a healthy way. When a robin wakes up at first light, he (and the first migrating robins are ALWAYS males) is hungry! He immediately starts searching the ground for any worms or insects he can find. Yummmmm! Cold breakfast!
When his stomach gets full, he starts feeling restless. Migrating robins usually stay in flocks, which is one good way to tell if a robin you're seeing is a migrant headed farther north or one that is going to stay.
You can learn alot by listening to them too: If one of the robins spots a person or other mild danger, if makes its "whinny" call, and the other robins check it out. If the danger gets closer, they take off. If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating. All the robins in the flock are antsy to move on, and suddenly they do--the whole flock just picks up and leaves! In the air or taking off, they often
give their "Zeeeeup!" call, a contact call for migrating.
If the weather is warm and migrating conditions are right, the flock will head in a northerly direction, but if they suddenly spot a promising looking field they'll drop down for a break and a snack. If the weather is too cold for migrating, they'll search for likely fields where they can find food in more
of a circle, all around the area they're in. Sometimes, if the weather turns very cold, they'll actually head south again in their search for food.
All day long they eat and move about restlessly. When night comes, they sleep. Until, one night, when they have lots of food in their stomachs, lots of fat on their bodies, and the weather has been just warm enough, suddenly they REALLY take off!
Robin daytime movements are pretty low to the ground. But at night, when they have trouble seeing shadows, they rise higher to avoid bonking into things. They may fly as high as a mile up in the air, though usually they fly lower than that.
When each robin finally arrives on his territory, he bursts into song! It sounds as if he's singing from sheer joy to be home, but as humans, we really can't be sure how birds really feel. We do know that his song tells other robins to STAY OUT! And when migrating robins hear a territorial
robin's song, it makes them more restless to press north to find their own territories.
Has YOUR Robin Returned Yet?
When WE hear a robin's song, we know that this is our very own robin--the one who will stay here for the summer. What a welcome sound that is!
The first day you hear this song, you know your robin has arrived and is ready to spend another summer with you.
Challenge Question #10: Where Was the Robin Yesterday?
Robins migrate at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. On the first day of spring, when night is exactly as long as day everywhere on the planet, how far might a robin go on its night flight? Look on a map and see if you can guess what town or city your first robin of spring might have left the night before.

Robin Migration Update: March 31, 1998
Today's Report Includes:
Millions of robins were held back by cold weather on the first day of spring, but their migration continued in earnest last week. Imagine how busy you'd be if Journey North observers had spotted them all! Luckily we have "only" 63 sightings for you to add to your migration map today.
This was the first big wave of migratory birds to flood into the northern U.S. states and cross the border into Canada. In addition to robins, many other species were along for the ride: Great-blue herons, wood ducks, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer and others. These maps show weather conditions leading up to March 25th-- on that single day 16 robins were reported and another 15 the next 2 days! Why were this such good time to migrate?
Comments From Northern Observers
A Day in the Life...of a Migrating Robin
What is the typical traveling day of a migrating robin? Let's go along for the ride:
Robins are very unusual migrants in that they can migrate by day or by night! In autumn, many huge robin flights take place in daylight, but in spring, they often fly by night. Why do you think there is a difference between seasons? Might it have something to do with their different food choices in spring and fall?
In spring, robins feel restless, ready to migrate. Their whole body is urging them to establish a territory, mate, and raise babies--but they can't start any of these until they arrive on their breeding grounds.
When cold weather holds them back, robins spend their days searching for food and eating as much as they possibly can. The berries and fruits still sticking to trees after the long winter are the ones that taste the worst--birds eat their favorite berries first of all, just like people eat our favorite Halloween candy first, so the last ones sitting around are
just about always the worst kinds. And for robins, any last berries hanging around are even starting to get a little rancid, so they will only eat them now only if they really can't find anything better. Fortunately, right when they need it most, the ground starts thawing, and suddenly big fat succulent earthworms are ripe for the picking!

In spring, robins feel restless, ready to migrate. Their whole body is urging them to establish a territory, mate, and raise babies--but they can't start any of these until they arrive on their breeding grounds.
When cold weather holds them back, robins spend their days searching for food and eating as much as they possibly can. The berries and fruits still sticking to trees after the long winter are the ones that taste the worst--birds eat their favorite berries first of all, just like people eat our favorite Halloween candy first, so the last ones sitting around are
just about always the worst kinds. And for robins, any last berries hanging around are even starting to get a little rancid, so they will only eat them now only if they really can't find anything better. Fortunately, right when they need it most, the ground starts thawing, and suddenly big fat succulent earthworms are ripe for the picking!
Robins eat a lot of food, especially during migration. Their bodies must get as fat as possible to allow them to fly long distances without stopping. This would be unhealthy for us humans, because fat tissue might damage our hearts or block our arteries and veins, but bird bodies are made to store fat very efficiently in a healthy way. When a robin wakes up at first light, he (and the first migrating robins are ALWAYS males) is hungry! He immediately starts searching the ground for any worms or insects he can find. Yummmmm! Cold breakfast!
When his stomach gets full, he starts feeling restless. Migrating robins usually stay in flocks, which is one good way to tell if a robin you're seeing is a migrant headed farther north or one that is going to stay.
You can learn alot by listening to them too: If one of the robins spots a person or other mild danger, if makes its "whinny" call, and the other robins check it out. If the danger gets closer, they take off. If a hawk or shrike approaches from overhead, the first one to spot it opens its beak wide and makes a very high-pitched "Seeee" call, and all the robins instantly crouch low in place and freeze. They can wait for many minutes without moving. Once the danger is past, they all go back to eating. All the robins in the flock are antsy to move on, and suddenly they do--the whole flock just picks up and leaves! In the air or taking off, they often
give their "Zeeeeup!" call, a contact call for migrating.
If the weather is warm and migrating conditions are right, the flock will head in a northerly direction, but if they suddenly spot a promising looking field they'll drop down for a break and a snack. If the weather is too cold for migrating, they'll search for likely fields where they can find food in more
of a circle, all around the area they're in. Sometimes, if the weather turns very cold, they'll actually head south again in their search for food.
All day long they eat and move about restlessly. When night comes, they sleep. Until, one night, when they have lots of food in their stomachs, lots of fat on their bodies, and the weather has been just warm enough, suddenly they REALLY take off!
Robin daytime movements are pretty low to the ground. But at night, when they have trouble seeing shadows, they rise higher to avoid bonking into things. They may fly as high as a mile up in the air, though usually they fly lower than that.
When each robin finally arrives on his territory, he bursts into song! It sounds as if he's singing from sheer joy to be home, but as humans, we really can't be sure how birds really feel. We do know that his song tells other robins to STAY OUT! And when migrating robins hear a territorial
robin's song, it makes them more restless to press north to find their own territories.
Has YOUR Robin Returned Yet?
When WE hear a robin's song, we know that this is our very own robin--the one who will stay here for the summer. What a welcome sound that is!
The first day you hear this song, you know your robin has arrived and is ready to spend another summer with you.
Challenge Question #10: Where Was the Robin Yesterday?
Robins migrate at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. On the first day of spring, when night is exactly as long as day everywhere on the planet, how far might a robin go on its night flight? Look on a map and see if you can guess what town or city your first robin of spring might have left the night before.

Robin Migration Update: March 31, 1998
Today's Report Includes:
Millions of robins were held back by cold weather on the first day of spring, but their migration continued in earnest last week. Imagine how busy you'd be if Journey North observers had spotted them all! Luckily we have "only" 63 sightings for you to add to your migration map today.
This was the first big wave of migratory birds to flood into the northern U.S. states and cross the border into Canada. In addition to robins, many other species were along for the ride: Great-blue herons, wood ducks, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer and others. These maps show weather conditions leading up to March 25th-- on that single day 16 robins were reported and another 15 the next 2 days! Why were this such good time to migrate?
