"This may be one of the best uses of your limited budget, because it accomplishes what every good science program should: it makes kids aware of their environment, it teaches careful observation and record-keeping, it engages learners in the process, and provides for inquiry.”
Diane C., 7th grade science teacher in Oregon
"During the closing week of school, when students were presenting their research findings about their chosen species, a girl in my class who we'll call Jasmine, turned to me and said, 'Mr. Lodato, I don't know how you did it, but you made me care about birds.' To me, this is a testament to the value of the Bird Sleuth investigation module. I think that the work you are doing is commendable and it is clearly leaving an impression on young minds. Thank you."
Nicholas L., 5th grade science teacher in Arizona
"I highly recommend the BirdSleuth curriculum. Students are not only engaged in watching birds and learning about them, but they are learning about the nature of science as they conduct their own scientific investigations. My students also enjoy the fact that birdwatching takes them outdoors and out of the classroom each week."
Phil K., 7th and 8th grade science teacher in Oregon
"I am just nuts about the birds! I set up two finch feeders and have 20 goldfinches at a time on the feeders. The kids are so great about getting really quiet and just peacefully watching the birds at the feeder. We are having so much fun!"
Nikki D., 4th grade teacher in Missouri
