Flying WILD is a bird-focused curriculum targeted for grades 5-8 and created by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The Flying WILD Curriculum is easy to use, works indoors or outdoors, correlates to educational standards, and develops students’ conceptual skills such as analysis, classification, description, estimation, evaluation, inference, hypothesis formation, and problem solving. Although targeted for grades 5-8, this curriculum is easily adapted to other grade levels. We invite classroom teachers, pre-service teachers, non-formal educators, and children/youth leaders (scouts, 4H, etc.) to participate in this workshop. Come prepared to spend time outdoors. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and any other necessary items. You can pack a lunch and bring it with you. This is a FREE workshop! Educators will receive training, a guidebook, a certificate, and the chance to instill wildlife conservation values related to birds and their habitats. Enter Greynolds Park at NE Miami Gardens Drive and NE 22nd Avenue. Follow road to the left and look for the river and a big picnic table. There is a parking fee of $7.00 per vehicle. Parking fees collected at pay stations or Pay-by-Phone. Follow instructions on posted signs after parking.
