Last week I led the first BirdSleuth seminar for the
preschool teachers at UCC in Caiman. 13
teachers attended, with 2 of their children who were great for demonstrating
teaching techniques. We began with a 40
minute presentation about the importance of birds, showing photos on my ipad of
birds found in Haiti. After lunch of
rice and beans with onion sauce, we began the games. I gave each teacher a habitat and a bingo
card, and showed how activities can be scaled from preschool to older
kids. My translator Donacien and I
demonstrated the habitat and survivor games, then all joined in and had fun
playing them. I gave the preschool a
BirdSleuth manual and set of survivor, scavenger hunt, and bingo cards for
their resource room. The elementary
school principle is now asking that I give a workshop for her teachers!
