Beautiful bird roundup from grades 3-5! We examined backyard birds of New England reference sheets, watched the and examined the whimsical work of long-time bird illustrator This lead us to displaying our bird illustrations on fun hanging branches (an interesting creative problem students needed to solve—how to get two sticks to balance like a swing)

How sweet are these fairy garden terrariums? We love teaching kiddos about building ecosystems. This provides an excellent opportunity to foster curiosity about the natural world. 🌿🌱🫙
We go over all the different layers involved in creating the terrarium and discuss how it “rains” inside, meaning that one never needs to water the plants. The vessels are also reused instant coffee jars, hopefully (pardon the pun) planting a seed of “how can I reuse packaging in the future?”
