Jewell Elementary Education Outreach
Thursday May 14 — In class presentation
Friday May 15 — Walk to Alpenglow Park to look for birds.

Thursday, May 14th: Come to share a presentation and some specimens, eg bird nests, eggs or habitat. We just had a field trip that focused on feathers, feet and beaks with some specimens about this.

Class A: 10-10:30am
Class B: 10:30-11:00
Class: 11:45-12:15

Friday May 15th: Have a visual/simple word “nature checklist” for students would be great with pencils and clipboards. If you’d like that translated into Spanish, send us it word document form and we can send it to translation through the district office. That may give students something to do and focus on as they walk.

Tentative schedule:
9:15-9:45am Walk from Jewell to Alpenglow park
9:45-11:00 Field Trip (hour and 15 minutes)
11:00-11:15 Lunch (at climbing rock wall section of park)
11:15-11:45 Walk to return to Jewell
