I work for Camp Fire USA these days, in an after-school program for kindergarteners and first graders. Right now, I'm teaching a unit on birds, for which I am coming up with my own curriculum and craft projects.
The other day, we had a woman from the Oregon Zoo come to give a talk about birds, and she brought two live "specimens," Louie the Runner Duck, and Rosita the Screech Owl! Some days my job is really fun.
Louie wiggled his tail a lot.
The kids got to hold realistic replicas of bird skulls, like this woodpecker skull, and a toucan skull (below).
Here's Rosita!
Some artwork by by the kids in response to the visit:
The red dot on the left represents Louie's poop. He pooped during the presentation. The kids went nuts.
(I drew this one.)
