Madison Audubon, Madison Metropolitan School District, Community Shares of WisconsinStudying the theories and terms in science classes can be difficult, but becomes even more so when you’re not familiar with the language it’s taught in. However, a dual immersion classroom at Lincoln Elementary and member group at Madison Audubon Society have found a way to bridge the barrier between ESL students and local environmental enthusiasts: a love of birds.

Thanks to the hands-on partnership between Lincoln and Madison Audubon, Madison Metropolitan School District students have become more engaged while learning about the way their world works and Audubon staff have learned new bird-related words in a variety of languages!
