This Project is for the Birds

April 13, 2018

From Jackie Waldron, teacher at Harms Elementary School and participant in DPS Go Green Challenge.

Students will create recycled 2-liter plastic bottle bird feeders. They will be hung in our school garden during the winter to feed the birds during this cold season. Students will bring in their 2-liter bottles with the label removed. The teacher will cut an opening in the middle and at the top of the bottle. We will attach the yarn at the top of the bottle and fill with bird seed. We will also attach a pencil on the side for a perch for the bird. Students may decorate their bottles with nature scenes.
This project will take us through the winter. In the spring we will continue to grow flowers and vegetables in the school garden.
