Getting Crafty With Nature

Help me give my students a variety of crafts and nature observation houses.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lancaster's classroom raised $408

My Project

My first-grade kiddos are fabulous! Six and seven-year-olds get very creative and love to show off their skills. They are always excited to make things, and they love experiencing nature. I have asked for crafts for various holidays to do in class.

We recently moved into a new classroom with a large glass window.

I want to offer several nature viewing pieces to display in the window. I have asked for two birdhouses outside the window and a bird feeder; both have a clear back so the kids can watch nature in progress! We do a unit on life cycles, and these resources would allow my students to see the life cycle in real life.

I am so excited to be able to provide these learning experiences for students.
