Celebration of Learning

What a special evening! Thank you so much for taking the time to come, listen to your child and learn more about birds.
I am so amazed by our first graders. They researched, asked questions, observed and wrote some amazing high quality bird books. I learned more about birds each day with them.
It was so fun getting to hear each child's reflections at each station and share what was important to them.

Hawk Quest
