Audubon Society offers free subscriptions to teachers

The Lake County Audubon Society offers teachers in Lake County the opportunity to receive a free classroom set of Audubon Adventures, an award-winning environmental education program about the natural world. Designed for teachers and students in third through fifth grade, the kit may be used in classrooms or after-school programs and meets the state’s common course requirements and standards in science and language arts.

The Audubon Adventures series for 2013-14 is “Sharing Our World With Birds.” The kit will explore hummingbirds, seabirds, birds of prey and more. Through hands-on activities, students learn that everyone has a personal stake in the health of the environment and play an important role in its preservation and improvement.

There are four separate magazine sets (32 of each). Each set has vibrant photos and lively illustrations that bring the natural world to life in the classroom. The Teachers Guide contains a step-by-step teaching plan for the topic plus instructions for hands-on activities with easy-to-remove reproducible pages and interactive student assessments.

Audubon Adventures may also be purchased as an individual subscription, valued at $40.

Teachers interested in receiving a free subscription or those who would like more information can contact Diane Rosenberg, education chair, Lake County Audubon Society, dbsr333@aol.com.
