Because the cold winter months are the hardest for wild birds, February and March have been named National Bird Feeding Months by the National Bird-Feeding Society. You can help your local bird population by providing supplemental food, water and shelter, and start a fun, educational hobby at the same time.

Native American Villages
Native American Villages
The Third graders at Francis Parker School in San Diego, CA have been studying Native American tribes throughout North America. Each class studied different tribes. Groups of students selected a tribe they wanted to research. Each person in the group was responsible for a different part of tribal life.Library resources and the internet were used to write a rough draft. The final copy was written, and a sketch of the village was drawn. Then each group built their village based on their research.
All the third grade classes visited each others villages while members of the group explained the tribes' everyday life. The parents also came to see the villages the classes had worked on together.
