'14/15 Week 1 Day 3

A cheerful day. My teaching pattern is smoothing itself out, and there were less bumps and halts in the flow of things today. Both teaching and learning are becoming more and more enjoyable. 

Saara's science class brought us outdoors. Once again, we went hunting for pictures of different animals in the animal kingdom. It was fun. 
What is even better, is that it fits perfectly with Andrew's biology class as well. He is learning about taxonomy. He chose the kingdom of fungi for his poster board project. I am curious to see how that is going to work out.

LA. Tackling grammar rules.
Science. This swallow-tail was so pretty. The insects - check.

Hummingbird - the birds - check.



Looking for frogs. We saw a few, but they were too fast for the camera.

Neighbor's dog - the mammals - check.

A garden spider (?) - the archnids under insects - check.

Frogs! Finally, we found a lot of them peeking out of holes on the side of the creek bank. The amphibians - check.



More spiders.


We waited patiently for some turtles to poke their heads out of the water. They did, far away from us, but I managed to  capture one on the camera. The reptiles - check.

The fish - check.


More birds.
