My Project

Spring has sprung and third grade students have developed a LOVE of birdwatching after discovering a robin's nest in our school garden. This experience has sparked so many questions and joy for our students!

Our third graders are loving learning about birds, but our limited supplies makes it difficult for everyone to participate.

For this project, I'm asking for a class set of binoculars, books about birds, a bird feeder, and bird food. These supplies will help students build on their love of bird watching and learning about nature.
