My Project

I have a group of extremely intelligent students who enjoy project based learning. They also enjoy their time indoors; I am looking for a way to engage them in outdoor passions to inspire them unplug and get outside!

The students will research how to identify birds and go on adventures finding and tracking the birds they find.

The books provided will help them learn about the birds and the monoculars will aide them in identifying the birds. In the end, the project will help them develop a life long passion that connects them with their world.
