We have been studying many different wetland birds and how they use "their" odd beaks to hunt, eat, build homes and survive. The beaks act like common household tools or utensils we use to help us in life everyday. Such as tongs, strainers, chisels, straws, spoons, forks, scissors, ladle, comb, tweezers, etc...
Students- create your bird with objects found around your house, but focus on the beak. Try to use recycled plastic jugs, old tennis balls, paper mache, felt pieces, feathers, clay, paper towel rolls-anything goes. Be creative but accurate!
If your bird is large just create the head and beak or scale down your model (1 foot=1 inch). Some students asked to make the bird in their natural habitat(diorama). I say, "Go for it!" Have Fun!
The projects will be displayed on Ocean Night Thursday, June 11th.
