Ms. Abraham's fourth grade students studied the
birds of the desert. These birds live in hot, dry climates and need to blend in with the tones of the earth, since there aren't many plants or trees to hide in. We found out that many birds here depend on cacti for hydration and food, and even shelter. I really enjoyed the way that many students in this class created a
setting for their birds as well as the bird itself. I am a cactus lover, so the bottle cap and
pringle cup cacti were especially exciting to me! All the sculptures are made entirely of
recycled materials, plus
acrylic paint. The
popsicle sticks used by this class were collected from actual
popsicles, not a prepackaged set of craft sticks. Here are a few examples from this class:
A Gamble's Quail and a Vulture!
A Turkey Vulture and a Cactus
Ferruginous Pygmy Owl!
A Roadrunner, a Gila Woodpecker, and a
Pinyon Jay!
