(Our supplies)
(She might not like everything we do, but Amelia NEVER misses a day of science experiments!)
Look at that face! Is it any wonder why I LOVE homeschooling? Look what I would be missing out on every day!
We worked on colors some more in Spanish and I had him complete a timeline for the Book of Mormon stories we've read so far. Believe it or not, creating and understanding the use of timelines is one of his kindergarten benchmarks.
But the special treat of the day was for Family Home Evening. The library held an event called, "Wonders of Nature," and we had front-row seats! There are a lot of videos below, so since I know all of you missed it, you can enjoy our fun!
When I said front-row seats, I meant it. Here is Jason and I almost getting attacked by a hawk. The presenter actually joked that Jason would be getting a new hair style that night!
(Opossum)
Flying squirrel! Except it doesn't fly, it glides. So really it should be called a "gliding squirrel."
(At least that is what we were told ;) )
I can't remember which type of bird these are, but they were pretty smart. He had them trained to wait until he told them to fly to him and then they opened their cage and away they went. Wish I had my children so well trained :p
What WAS awesome about these birds was that the presenter talked about camouflage- a term we had discussed JUST that afternoon when we read a book about Tiger Sharks. Once again, accidental reinforcement of a concept!
This next sequence of videos is SO awesome! This parrot was so cool!
Then there was the squirrel...our presenter's favorite animal. I wish Papa had been there to set this guy straight!
And then there was this crazy bird...
Connor's favorite part was the talking parrot. Amelia's favorite part was the Flying Squirrel. I think Jason's favorite part was leaving with all of his hair!
