"For the Birds!"~~{H.E.E.T TOUR}

We our slowly wrapping up our official school year and had our final H.E.E.T field trip. 

This time, we visited the local Audubon Center where we learned all about birds.

It was so much fun and the largest group of homeschoolers we have had attend a tour yet!

I am so humbled by the increase God is showing and the favor He is shining upon us!!!

Take a look at our field trip. We will definitely be returning for another visit!

 Our homeschool students were separated into 2 age groups. 

The first classroom was really NEAT and the educator was awesome!

 Here is the 2nd classroom with the older students.

 The students learned about birds, animal habitats, eating patterns, nesting, migration,

 and conservation etc.

 The Center provided binoculars for the students to go on a nature hike/bird finding mission.

 The Audubon Center's architectural design is amazing!

 Em really liked this bird statue, but the hot mid-day sun made it

really, really hot!

 Ce Ce checking out some info in the reading room.

 It was Ce Ce's 2nd birthday {where DID the time go?}, so my husband took the day off of work to spend the day with us. It was WONDERFUL!!

We had an amazing time and have been having fun checking out the birds in our neighborhood as well!

 Here are some of our library books about Birds!

Be a Blessing,

Rainbows and Colors Unit

We love colors, though, our girls' favorite colors are pink and purple:). Yes, they wear a lot of pink. Hey, it makes the laundry a lot easier, lol. 

We studied colors and the rainbow. Here is the wrap-up. Enjoy!!

Our Bible memory verse for the week.

We had a rich discussion on how God keeps His promises!

We were even lucky enough to catch a few rainbows in our front hallway from our 

windows in the front door. 

 The girls all really enjoyed our rainbow fruit kabobs!

 We rarely eat food coloring, so I made an exception for this lesson.

We made Rainbow Toast using Organic Rice milk with food coloring in it.

 We read the book "I Can Eat a Rainbow" and gathered all of the colored play foods we could find.

 What a gorgeous rainbow!

We needed more purple and blues!

 Elle learned what ROYGBIV stands for and decided to draw what her interpretation of Roygbiv is.

What a creative little girl!

 Elle still loves creating math triangles with fact families.

Elle's vocabulary worksheet.

 We made gorgeous rainbow waffles!!

 We learned about primary colors and secondary colors.

I put blue, red and yellow glittered paint into ziploc sandwich bags.

 The girls had a wonderful time experimenting with making secondary colors!!

 This was the perfect activity for Ce Ce. She does not like to get messy:).

 We went on a nature walk and collected various items.

We painted the pinecones-the girls loved this!!!

 Em's worksheets on colors.

 Another wonderful free file folder game from mamaslearningcorner.

 Elle is really improving in her spelling and vowel usage!

Not perfect, but making progress!

Be a Blessing,

Aria:)
