Homeschooling in the Mountains

Today's letter is H. So with that wee decided to build a habitat which is a new word to T. After explaining that a habitat was kind of like a house in that it is where a creatures lives I asked T what he'd like to make a habitat for. Of course being a total boy he wanted to do a habitat for dinos! So We gathered up some paper bags, strapped the baby on with a wrap got our shoes and went out to gather some stuff for our dino habitat. We gathered a bag of dried grass from the edge of the woods, a bag of sticks, a bag of dried leaves (YAY fall) and a bag of various size rocks. We then came inside and got some cotton thingies (for clouds), construction paper, some of daddy's old model trees, mini plastic dinos and our box of kids supplies (scissors, crayons ect.) We had a blast putting it together and T loved looking into it to see the dinos!

After building it T wanted to know what a volacano was so we looked up some eruptions on youtube. He was of course enthralled so I think when we get to V we shall build ourselves a nice "working" volcano!
