Since there can be two kits and one of them was going to be about animal
fur I wanted to figure out another idea for the second one. After meeting
Johnathan I had a better understanding of what to put in these kits, and
activities involved in them. I had a meeting with another educator, Bobbie
Snead, and I talked to her about my idea with owls.

We both concluded that there might not be many
activities to put in the kit that would meet the criteria, and thought about
how we could make an owl display work. Finally, we decided to have the display
and the kit be about birds with a section devoted to owls. When talking to an
educator who specializes in a certain topic I learned so much. Bobbie who
specializes in owls helped me better understand how to create a kit that could
be beneficial to kids learning it, as well as incorporate important and interesting
information about birds and owls.
There will be a post more
specifically about my objectives I want from each kit, and what is in each kit.
Right now, though the fur kit is little bit less crafty and more observations,
and questions. This bird/owl kit has a bit more arts and crafts as well as
observation about birds. For example, there will be an activity talking about
the feathers of birds, and owls where the kids can touch the feathers. The
crafty part is an activity where the kids have an option to create a bird nest.
Additionally, there is a topic which has the kids observe the egg shape. I want
the kits to be somewhat different in the activities so I can learn what works
well and what needs more improvement.
