Audubon Adventures: An Opportunity to Participate in Environmental Education
If you've ever wanted to share your appreciation for the natural environment with youngsters by stimulating their curiosity and discovery of nature, here's your chance. Audubon Adventures is a nationally acclaimed environmental education program of informational brochures, posters, activities and action tips geared for grades 3 - 6.
Teachers who receive the kit get a guide, resource manual and a one-year subscription to Audubon Magazine. Each classroom kit contains materials for 32 students, at a cost of $45, which includes shipping.
Subject matter and activities in the kits are in alignment with national science and language arts standards. Millions of school children have participated in this program since its inception in 1984.
Following are just two among the many accolades the program has received from teachers. These and other information about Audubon Adventures are posted at the website: www.audubon.org/educate/aa/.
