The education program we designed to accompany our current exhibition, Mapping the Birds of New York, continues to enthrall school children who come to visit. It's nice to get notes back from the kids, who not only thank us for the fun they had but also show us what they learned. Here's one from a student at Love Elementary School in Jamestown:
Dear Mr. Baldwin, Miss Nelson, and Mr. Sherman,
Thank you for the tour of RTPI (Roger Tory Peterson Institute). I liked it. Especially the activity that Mr. Sherman did, the scavenger hunt. Also when we watched the birds with the binoculars. I actually liked all the activities. Now I know names of birds, habitats, and much more.
Your nice friend,
Ezequiel Carrea
