Eggshell planters, bird feeders

"Environmental education seems less a new discipline than a recovery of the connections from which disciplines originally emerged."-John Elder

Objective: To continue working as a class to create a learning space that fosters exploration and observation.

Today we:
-Constructed apple bird feeders using cored apples, twine, and sunflower seeds
-Constructed pine cone bird feeders using pine cones, peanut butter, quinoa, and hot cereal
-Planted seeds in plastic bags with damp paper towel to tape to the window and observe
-Planted seeds (crest, cilantro, and peas) in planters constructed from egg shells to put near the window and observe
