Homeschool in Nature: Great Backyard Bird Count

Description

Broad Meadow Brook's homeschool programs bring learning to life in a cooperative, curiosity-driven setting for school-aged children.

In February, we'll take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, a worldwide effort that anyone can help with. Your child will learn to identify the birds around the sanctuary, count them carefully, and see how those numbers turn into data researchers use.

Your child will build observation skills through outdoor exploration, games, and activities designed to make big scientific ideas stick. Our instructors use the sanctuary itself as the classroom, helping young learners develop real knowledge and a sense of belonging in nature.
