Nature Buddies  Nature Buddies is a workshop that will get
students outside observing the landscape.  We will go on field
trips to outdoor spots.  This is an interdisciplinary study of
the land that will include art projects, writing, experiments
all based on inquiry and curiosity.  1. Go to the art museum and
tour the African environmental art exhibit.  Sketch pieces and
create our own pieces of environmental (and possibly outdoor
depending on the weather) art.  2. Go to the organic garden. 
Explore the garden with all our senses.  Have students pair up. 
One partner closes his/her eyes and gets asked to use his/her
nose, hands, etc. to explore the garden.  Do nature writing
based on the descriptive words we come up with on our sensory
tours.  3. Walk the TAM listening for birds.  Where are the
birds?  What different types could we find?  Make bird feeders
to attract more birds using peanut butter, apples, and birdseed.
