In our Montessori program, finding ways to honor the Earth and the life upon it are part of our Peace Curriculum. This year, we’ve chosen to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day<\/a> at Winfield Children’s House. This day was designated as the second weekend in May and is celebrated worldwide.<\/p>\n

Many birds visit our school’s campus. During the winter we fill bird feeders. We eagerly await the return of the migratory robins and phoebes that nest on our grounds each year.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this international event, we’ve invited a children’s naturalist from the Maine Audubon<\/a> to present a program to the children. Individual classrooms are celebrating with different activities and materials. We were excited to add some new book titles to our school library, as well. Feather Not Just for Flying<\/a> and A Nest Is Noisy<\/a> are a few of new picture books we’ve order.<\/p>\n

How is your family celebrating birds this May?<\/p>\n
