A Backyard Field Guide

Science is so fun!   We're learning about animals with their skeltons on the outside----ie insects!  So, we read through some insect flash cards, learned some facts, then headed outside to see what we could find.  The girls each had a journal in hand and a pencil, and I had the camera!

We saw lots of life!

...a bug stuck in a web

a fly


...these leaves were like felt, they were waterproof~ it was cool


...a beetle of some sort


...beautiful flowers





this plant is cool, whatever it is?


They had fun learning and the journals turned out great:)  We finished up science with a walk around our new neighborhood.  Then, headed inside for hot chocolate and "A Bug's Life."

...........A good morning!!!!
