We feel that educating children about the birds, wildlife and habitats of our planet and the role children can learn to play in preserving and protecting them, is crucial to our well-being.
Responses from educators have been both positive and inspiring. Examples from the National Audubon Society website are:
“Last year, my class was inspired by the “Caring for the Environment” issue we read at the end of the year. We had a butterfly garden on our playground that had long ago been forgotten and weed-ridden. Our 3rd graders pulled weeds, moved dirt, painted the sign, and planted new native plants during their recesses. Our 1st graders released their classroom grown butterflies into the garden! All students were pleased and fascinated with the results.” – Grade 3 Teacher
“I love the curriculum! … We had discussion questions, written responses and research projects that branched off of the topics. The topics are high interest and the color is awesome.” - Elementary teacher
