Beginning Birding - help!!

["Elizabeth Shaw" <>]

Hi Jenny,
As an ex-primary school teacher I can highly recommend the Gould League
materials and staff for ideas on teaching children about all aspects of
environmental education.  Most states have branches - often attached to
state Education Departments.  Don't re-invent the wheel!  Local birders
helping teachers always has a novelty interest for children (different
faces, voices etc.), as does outings to local bird spots and the use of
equipment, especially binoculars and telescopes - but you may need a few
more helpers  with such equipment for a larger class group.
