Audubon Adventures!

Available for Grades 3 to 5

The national Audubon Society has developed an environmental education program for children in grades 3 to 5 called Audubon Adventures. It was developed by professional environmental educators and presents basic, scientifically accurate facts about birds, wildlife, and their habitats. It comes packaged as a Classroom Kit (serving 32 students) or as an Individual Kit (serving 1 student). The program can be used by classroom teachers, after-school program coordinators, special education instructors, language arts teachers, and homeschoolers.Each classroom kit contains:
Four different editions of the award-winning Audubon Adventures student nature news magazine (32 copies of each)
A Classroom Resource Manual with hands-on activities and science background
A Classroom Wall Certificate
An environmental wall poster
The Coulee Region Audubon Society has been purchasing classroom kits for local teachers for quite a few years and we would like to continue that program this year. Since the new school year is approaching, I thought that I would send out a reminder that this program is available. If you know educators who work with this age group, I would encourage you to suggest that they look at the Audubon Adventures section of the Audubon website to see if this material would be a useful addition to their curriculum. If they are interested, have them contact me and I will work with them to get a kit ordered as soon as possible so that it is available for the new school year.
There are 5 different kits available - one of which is brand new. Therefore, even if students (or a teacher) have already seen a specific Audubon Adventures kit in a prior year, there are other kits available that cover different topics.

La Crosse Area Christmas Bird Count - Saturday, December 16, 2023

-
The 2023 La Crosse Area Christmas Bird Count will abe held on Saturday, December 16, 2023. For this event, we will try to count as many birds as possible in a 15 mile diameter "Count Circle" that is centered on the La Crosse County Courthouse in downtown La Crosse. The circle will be divided into pre-defined sections and count teams will head out early to cover their section. We will also use the help of feeder counters - people who live and maintain a bird feeder within that count circle to count the birds that visit their yard. If you would like to help, please check out the Christmas Bird Count page of the Coulee Region Audubon Society website at: http://www.couleeaudubon.org/html/cbc.html New participants are welcome! Thanks, Dan Jackson, Compiler
