Relevance of the project:
The problem of environmental education of the younger generation is one of the most pressing. In modern conditions, the problem of environmental education of junior schoolchildren becomes particularly acute and relevant. It is during this period that the formation of the human personality and the formation of the principles of environmental culture take place. Therefore, it is very important to awaken children’s interest in living nature, cultivate a love for it, and teach them to take care of the world around them.
The project is complex in nature: it includes practical environmentally oriented, creative, aesthetic activities, physical activity of children, and promotion of respect for nature.
The theme of the project “Birds are our friends” was not chosen by chance. After all, it is birds that surround us all year round, bringing benefits and joy to people. During the cold season, there is significantly less available food, but the need for it increases. Sometimes natural food becomes practically unavailable, so many birds cannot survive the winter and die. And we, teachers, together with parents, must teach children to see this, expanding their understanding of birds, their habits and way of life, and create conditions for the child to communicate with the natural world.
All work on the project was carried out under the guidance of the teacher. In the process of working on the project, the children showed independence. They took an active part in collecting information and made observations.

Stages of implementation of the project “Birds of Our Land”.
I. Preparatory stage.
The beginning of work on the project was a visit to the school library. Working with encyclopedias “What? When? Why?”, children's magazines, articles.
During the lessons of literary reading, the Russian language, and the surrounding world, children became acquainted with works about birds.
Conversations were held: “Rules of attitude towards birds”, “What are birds for”, “What would have happened if there were no birds”...
During mathematics lessons, they solved examples in coloring books, solved crosswords and charades.
We have prepared messages about the birds of our region, proverbs, sayings, and signs.
II Main
stage (practical).
Winter is a difficult time for birds, especially if it is harsh and snowy. And it is precisely at this time of year that wintering birds especially need human help, as they experience an acute shortage of food. A hungry bird suffers greatly from the cold. And we can support the birds in winter, help them and watch them. Children observed the life of birds during the excursion and in everyday life.
After research, the guys came to the conclusion that the birds need to be helped, and it was decided to hold a competition for the best feeder. The feeders were made from different materials, and the children and their parents actively got involved in the work.
III. Final stage (results of work)
At the final stage of work in the visual arts and technology lessons, we drew pictures for the exhibition, made crafts, and created a collective wall newspaper.
