Day 14- Wed, Sept 26: The camp trip was a success yesterday. The kids walked trails, participated in many environmental-based activities, and got dirty!
Our classes today were focused on post-camp activities. After reviewing the camp events, we proceeded to make "stained glass" animals to decorate the windows. There were several templates for various insects, frogs, turtles, and other animals. Of course, I also broke 4 different bird field guides.
Many of the students flipped through the book to get ideas for their own creations. Sure enough there were some owls and hawks hanging on my window at the end of the day.
There was even one overgrown kid who carefully created an American Kestrel with the black construction paper and colored tissue paper. While he is FAR from artistic, his kestrel's streamlined profile, pointed wings blue wings, cinnamon back, and head patttern make the ID easy when you gaze out my window. Now, if I could only get the colored glue off of my shirt!
