Have the most unique and special made birdhouse around...As part of a school program sponsored by Brown's Foster Home, my students and I decided it would be fun to build something. Inspired by our hikes in the local woods and an interest in wildlife, we decided to build birdhouses. We gathered some scrap lumber, a handsaw, a hammer and nails, and managed to make a wooden box. I said to one student, "Graham, would you like to add anything to this?" He really enjoyed the assembly process, especially the hammering, and without hesitation finished our first bird house. Recycled Reflections - the birdhouse project, is the cornerstone of the day program at Browns Foster Home.
