Mommio: A Wednesday In November

This Wednesday was a great day, and one that only happens in November in Texas. We started the day in long pants and jackets and ended it in swimsuits in the river. Just perfect. In between the two we had a blast with our homeschool friends at Weavers Bottom. As you can see from reading the kids posts from today, we learned a lot about birds this week at our homeschool Adventure Club meeting. Go take a look at the pictures from the meeting!

Connor: Birds

This week we studied birds in Adventure Club. I learned a lot about birds. I learned that water birds launch by running on water. I learned about Bald Eagles, like the fact that there may have once been a different species of Bald Eagle besides the White Bald Eagle we see in the United States today. Something else I learned is that you can find an owl by looking at owl pellets on the ground and then looking up. I also learned that owl pellets and owl poop are not the same thing. I learned that the way you can tell what an owl ate is by looking at the pellets. Owls will eat rodents, bats, cats, small birds and snakes. I loved learning about birds.

Kennedy: Adventure Club

When I was finding some bones in the owl pellets I found a part of the teeth of a rat. And then I found a leg bone of a rat. And then we went outside and looked at feathers and made hummingbird feeders with Robin. We learned about feathers and about birds. And then we played. I played with Mikenna. And then we went to the Slab to swim. When I was at the Slab I found a good boat. It was a stick. And then we were looking for seaweed for the boat. And then we went and played mermaids. And then we went home. Then we did chores.
