Summer Series #2
Summer Tree Observations
Summer Nature Study
Using your Senses:
Nature at Sundown
The Outdoor Hour Challenges
-
We talked about the parts of the tree again with correct vocabulary – the “new” word was spray. They didn’t know what that was.
-
We did the leaf challenge of folding in half and seeing if the sides match. Both boys were surprised that the sides did not match.
-
There were so many ants that we should have done our ant study again this week. 🙂
-
I spotted a new bird that I have not identified. I’ll go out and lay out there some more and let ya know. Brown, White, Redish?, eating bugs. Smallish. Saw a yellow bird flitting around.
On to our chart –
Using my five senses, I observed these things:
 |

Smooth and Spiny |

SEE–Winged Bugs, Ants & Spiders |
We laid underneath for a few minutes. Birds, Black and Yellow, Bugs. 🙂 |
