Ducks, Dirt, Math and Random Things

It is still very cold, but the Earth is thawing and it's feeling a bit Springy at times. We are getting some work done outside, garden beds are built, dirt and seeds are here - preparing for gardening. The ducks have joined us. Flowers are blooming. The kids are enjoying the outdoor as much as the indoors and we are so happy to have the space in both areas to spread our wings. We are looking forward to the next season at the Acre of Nature.

We learned about, and held, a beautiful corn snake in our Creepy, Crawly Critters class this week. Her name is Tiger. We want a pet snake now.

Cooking With Friends

Amber and Shyla taught us how to make breaded fried chicken.

Bats!

We learned about bats through the Audubon Society of Portland traveling program homeschool class. Esperanza dressed up as a vampire bat for the occasion.
