In-School Field Trips
Description: Trudie Goodwin is an avid bird watcher who keeps good company with an owl. Together they share their love of bird caretaking with your students, teaching them about the basic needs of birds, their likes and dislikes, and even about clever distraction display techniques that some birds use to throw off their predators. Additionally, your students will build a wooden birdhouse that they get to take home and use year-after-year! Students will use a water-resistant wood glue as a fastener for their project. Nails and/or screw will be sent home for parents to reinforce the project if they choose.
