Impact Explorers: Florence Merriam Bailey

For Grades K - 5

Learn about the lives of remarkable historical figures you might never have heard of and get hands on with an activity related to their work!

Join us each month to listen to a read aloud and explore the life of a not-so-well-known influential person. Afterwards we'll work on an activity inspired by their field of interest to learn more about their job and the impact they had on our world. Be ready for some hands-on activities!

This month we're learning about Florence Merriam Bailey, a pioneering birder and activist by reading She heard the birds: the story of Florence Merriam Bailey, pioneering nature activist by Andrea D'Aquino.

Engaging in arts activities can improve a child’s fine motor skills and enhance their creative problem-solving abilities. Activities like cutting, gluing, painting, and drawing can help children develop better coordination and dexterity, while creating three dimensional objects can improve visual-spatial skills.
