My Project
I teach at a public charter high school. We are located on an island that is bordered by brackish water marshes and the Atlantic Ocean. We offer a wide variety of programs that positively impact all grade, socioeconomic and ability levels. Our area is surrounded by industry and tourism. Our families come from very varied backgrounds; medical, legal, education, business, tourism and those that have trouble finding and keeping employment.
Nonfiction books can be a fantastic way to bring nature to life in the classroom.
Birds are all around us. They are easy to see and easy to watch. However, most people don't really notice these wonderful creatures. Sadly, their role in maintaining ecosystem health often goes unnoticed.
Moonbird is a real bird that, in his lifetime, migrated a distance equal to that from Earth to the moon and halfway back! This story of nature in action will be sure to intrigue and excite my students as we learn about the wonderful diversity of birds on the planet. My goal is to help students appreciate the wonder of the natural world.
More than half of students from low‑income households
