FIAR: Owl Moon Lapbook

This was book was a struggle at first. Reading about snow when there is about 30 plus inches outside your window was not a good move. I think it added to his cabin fever. The great thing was we were able to get out and take a fieldtrip to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History's Naturalist Center. We got to spend one on one time with the staff and explored owl pellets collected by the staff as well as see giant mouths. The day also included working with rocks, minerals, bones, and learning about animal tracks.

I will include the photos later...Blogger is having issues uploading them tonight.

Snowschooling Post Blizzards: President’s Day

Yesterday started out late after a late night of watching the Olympics. We had fun as a family watching the games. But we paid for in the morning, tired and lacking directions. That was completely my fault for not getting up and setting the tone for the day. But hey homeschooling is about whole family learning.

Also as we were suiting up for our nature walk it started to snow. Ironhide is so over snow at this point. Personally I am running out of snow related fun things to do in the lesson plans. We still have Texas roots which like to get out and run this time of year. I have fought the expensive of going to one of those inside playscapes but if it snows again tomorrow, it cannot be avoided. The young man needs to run.

The day started with blizzard winds and more snow. Ironhide has had enough snow. He wants to go play. Today is too cold for outside play so I tried to keep up the physical activity level. So after a nice warm breakfast and a few chores we proceeded to learn.
