Nature Day at Salato

Join in every Monday for the Homeschool Highlight Meme.

Write a post about a highlight from your past week of home learning. Here are some ideas: an accomplishment, an event or outing, a fun learning experience, a new educational product your family enjoys, an unexpected teachable moment. You can also use the Homeschool Hi-Lights graphic, if you want to.

I took the girls to Salato last week for an Earth Day activity.  They were making pinecone birdfeeders.  We have done these at home before.  Lulu had testing for three days so this was a treat at the end of it.

After they were finished we went inside the nature center.  The girls love looking at the fish, snakes, and animal habitats.  They had a pretend stream set up inside with rocks the kids could turn over and see what kind of wildlife might live there.  Lil really enjoyed that.  Monkey tee-heed when she found out what the "scat" in the jars really was.

We went outside to look at the animals when we were finished inside.  I was able to get some really good pictures of the girls.

And a playful one too!
