Today I began my quest to find the
perfect grant for Durango nature studies. Despite the fact that there are over
10,000 grants on the Library Grant Database, there seem to be very few that are
applicable to Durango Nature Studies. If you are a Russian orphan, or you want
to adopt an orca, there is a grant for you! But if you just want to help fund
an environmental education program for younger students, you really have to
hunt. But I am so glad that there is a database. This search would be immensely
complicated without it.
Nature Club
today went really well! There were almost twice as many students as usual, so I
naturally assumed that it would be pure chaos. However, all of them already
knew Rachel, so they were much more willing to participate. We made some very
cool turtle crafts!
Fun fact! Did
you know that the turtle’s egg tooth is called a caruncle? I didn’t! So much
you can learn from a 1st grade curriculum.
Well,
tomorrow, I begin condensing my research into a lesson plan.
Wish me
luck!
