To alert students to the influence of land development and provide a unique learning experience, Ms. Zaenger and Ms. Giordano develop a bird garden. Students study naturalist, John James Audubon, and learn to identify native song birds. Students go bird sighting at a local park and use knowledge about what birds need to create birdfeeders. Applying all of their learning, students design and build a bird garden in the courtyard of the school.
