Trees and Birds Nests

Last weeks school lessons were centered around Trees and birds nests. Here are a couple of pictures of our bean sprouts that finally sprouted from the week before's lesson on how things grow

This week Jesse built a birds nest out of twigs and lined it with dried leaves, he peeped the entire time he was doing this and made believe he was a mamma bird.

Finished Nest

Jesse decided that his kitty kat counters belonged in the nest instead of baby birds lol

Time to learn how to fly baby birds....errr kitties

Like this, flap your wings, or ears or whiskers or whatever it is that kitties flap!

Bird nest building sequence story, good job Jesse!

This is a picture of our PITIFUL pepper harvest this year. This was not a good year for vegetable gardens, not sure if I'm going to attempt this again next year.

Stay tuned next week for Tt, Turtles and Rain!

Nature Walk

Since it was such a beautiful day and we don't get snow days, we decided to take a sunshine day and go to the park. We fed the goats carrots...

...and apples

and had fun on the HUGE slide

ready made spaceship for a couple of space explorers.

Jesse and his friend Rexy

Our day at the park quickly turned into a nature walk, which worked out perfectly since Jadyn had been studying things that grow close to the ground and Jesse was studying leaves. We found some interesting mushrooms, all kinds of leaves that very conveniently were all labeled, a homeschool mom's dream for sure, and some beautiful flowers. Here are some pictures of what we saw.

Jadyn found a unicorn!

and Jesse found a waterfall

Love this picture of my babies.

We found this funky tree root that looked like the tree had grown feet and was about to run away.
