My Project

Our classroom of students with intellectual disabilities is currently learning about birds! We have been doing a science unit on different animal and are moving from sea animals to birds in January. It is very helpful for my students to see what they're learning in real life. This project will allow them to use hands on building skills as we construct our bird sanctuary, and will allow them an opportunity to practice caring for and nurturing creatures. We are blessed with big windows in our classroom so my students will be able to observe the birds enjoy their gifts. We will learn about seeds, nests, migration, flight, and support our learning with some art projects! Please support our project!
