Presentation Theme: “Fall Colors” & “Nature’s adaptations to Winter”
New Bug Hotel (Biodiversity Area)
Each school installed bird house, bird feeders and bird baths.
The school was given bird indentification posters for a Migratory Bird Project. Students keep track of the type of birds that visit and monitor what birds are present in each month.
Living Schools use Nature as teacher and guide…

Hi ______
I just wanted to tell you how much _______ loved Myka’s presentation today. Despite how quiet she was at the gate she talked non-stop all the way home about the animals she got to see and touch and all the interesting facts she learned. She was thrilled with it. She said the presentation was 45 minutes but felt like 10!
Thank _________ please! It was a great idea to have her in!
Have a great weekend!
Kelly
