Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just got an email about this bird study/curriculum from Cornell Lab of Ornithology (they are a great birding resource) - it's specficially for homeschoolers. It's expensive, but it does look good.

Dear Homeschooler,

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's inquiry-based curriculum program, BirdSleuth, has released its first module just for homeschoolers! Our Science Investigator's Kit for Homeschools will help you bring science alive for your family with hands-on, engaging activities involving birds.

Your curriculum kit includes books, lesson plans, a journal, resource pages, CD-ROM, online resources and support, PLUS free participation in Project FeederWatch and the FeederWatch kit. Through Project FeederWatch, kids collect data about the birds they see at their feeders and submit their observations to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Scientists use this information to understand more about the distribution and abundance of birds across North America. Children like knowing their work is really useful.

Through January 31, we are offering ten dollars off the regular prices of the homeschool kit. Give it a try! I believe it will keep your children engaged in science activities for months and perhaps spark a lifelong interest in birds.

To learn more, please visit www.birds.cornell.edu/birdsleuth/homeschool.

Happy Birding!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Schaus Fee, Project Leader
