I have since moved schools and now teach in Old Town, Albuquerque. Getting my students interested in birds is easy here, as we have a great many of birds on our Bosque (forest) campus daily such as sandhill cranes and geese! The children love seeing the geese on our campus and having binoculars give us a better chance to see these magical birds in a more intimate manner. We have been reading the Wild Robot, in which a robot becomes sentient being and mother to a little gosling. Having these \"bird nerd\" materials has been a wonderful tie-in to our other learning in class. I appreciate you greatly for these fabulous materials. Enjoy the photo I uploaded of our campus \"sandhill cranes.\" :)","fullyFundedDate":1733263161777,"projectUrl":"project/bird-nerds-taking-flight-in-pre-k/8982755/","projectTitle":"Bird Nerds Taking Flight in Pre-K!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walstrom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp372735_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475627506734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-debellis"},{"teacherId":8812330,"projectId":8832657,"letterContent":"We are excited about our bottles and positive behavior chart.
