Santa Clara Audubon Society Poster Contest - Burrowing Owl

The Santa Clara Audubon Society has a poster contest for their Education Day every year. I was given the flyer for this project and immediately knew I wanted my students to participate, because it will not only be educational, and raise awareness about threatened species in our County, but it will be FUN! It is a great opportunity for the classes to bond with each other and appreciate facets of nature that could use our help!

Audubon Society Poster Contest - Red-Breasted Sapsucker

I cannot express how wonderful it is to excite a class with a contest! The Santa Clara County Audubon Society is having a poster contest for their Environment Education Day 2012, and winners will have their artwork put in their 2013 calendar!
My 5th grade class was an excellent candidate for this project, as it is a small class, so I can deliver lots of one-on-one with the students. I chose to do the Red-Breasted Sapsucker, a local woodpecker in the Santa Clara County.
