In Classroom Drawing with Feathers

Audubon in the Schools (AITS) volunteers are making plans to offer sessions to schools and students this year. Our program depends on in-classroom drawing sessions using bird feathers and specimens that the students use as models for their drawing exercises. This is accompanied by educational instruction on bird biology and anatomy, as well as ecosystems in which birds thrive. The AITS group also plans to offer Outdoor School sessions on Beginning Birding and Bird ID, using binoculars and bird models to help the students learn these skills.

If you have teaching experience or know a teacher who might be interested in joining our volunteer teaching team, please contact Barb Pope at aitsbirds@gmail.com.We would be happy to discuss the program!

Good job, AITS Team, for doing this important work!
