Teaching our Children spacer spacer spacer

Our Education Director, Carolyn Antman, was recently invited by Sheila McNair to give a presentation to the Kindergarteners and second grade girls in after school care at Reynolds Lane Elementary School. Ms. McNair is teaching the children a unit on birds and bird watching. They had a lot of fun - first learning the names and habits of a few common birds, then making practice binoculars out of toilet paper rolls. As a final treat, the children got to try out real binoculars provided by Duval Audubon Society from an Earth Day Jacksonville grant.
