Classroom Materials

Classroom Enrichment Materials from Audubon

Education Kits
Eight exciting kits of natural science teaching materials are available free of charge to school teachers, homeschoolers, and youth group leaders, from the Madrone Audubon Society. The very popular kits cover such subjects as Bats, Owls, Bird Habitat, Identification, Binoculars, and Visual Aids. Each kit was developed by knowledgeable teachers and volunteers, and funded by special contributions or Madrone education funds. The materials come packed in a large, wheeled suitcase. For more information or to reserve a kit for the dates you want it, phone 823-1821.

Audubon Adventures
There is still time (but not much!) for teachers of grades three through six to enroll their classes in the Audubon Adventures natural science enrichment program for the current academic year. Audubon Adventures provides a series of six illustrated newspapers for each child in the class, a teacher's guide, and colorful posters about the natural world. Teachers who have not previously participated and those who wish to re-enroll for the 1999-2000 school year should call Nancy Ryan immediately at 996-6181. The fee for the program is just $35 per year, and sponsorships are available.
Members of the Madrone Audubon Society and others help to fund the program by sponsoring the $35 per class enrollment fee. To support a classroom, please send a check for $35 made out to Madrone Audubon Society, care of Nancy Ryan, P.O. Box 1003, Glen Ellen 95442. Specify that you want your gift used for Audubon Adventures. You may designate a teacher, class, school, or area to receive your gift of Audubon Adventures, or let Nancy match your gift with a classroom.
