Looking Closer

Isabella expresses an interest in the The Great Backyard Bird Count project to the school library media specialist. Ms. Anderson suggests that she might be a "project coordinator" helping Miss Hamilton and assisting the younger learners. She's thrilled with the idea of sharing her feather collection. As part of the bird project she creates an exhibit of her best feathers to share. She also creates a photo tutorial on the proper way to care and preserve for feathers.
