It was Eagle Day at Farmington Bay.

Do you see the eagles?

Two little teeny tiny dark specks on the ice. Yeah, that was it.

Bald Eagles on the Ice

Thanks to all the people who told us how much better the event was last year. That greatly improved our day.

At least we got a cool button.

At least there were some other things to see.

A falcon and red-tailed hawk from the Aviary:

We are Royal Little Lambs after all.

We had fun with a sheep nature study!

There is a small sheep farm near where Elizabeth takes music lessons.

It’s in a residential neighborhood! So funny. Wonder what their neighbors think? There are always 2-3 sheep and several ducks and chickens in the yard. Last week, there were two lambs and one very pregnant ewe! I want one!

Sheep Nature Study

We watched the sheep through the fence. I even acquired some wool that was stuck in the wire.

We read the sheep section in Handbook of Nature Study.

We then discussed it and completed a Warm as Wool unit. I definitely want to go back to Homeschool Share and do more with those pages!

Tori and Katie really enjoyed learning about sheep. They love farm animals!


Sheep Notebooking

We went through the questions together orally and then I wrote the answers on a dry erase board for them to copy onto their papers.

The girls are doing so well with their handwriting!

Notebooking Sheep

Then, they drew their own picture of sheep on another page and we talked about the Latin name for sheep.

Drawing Sheep

We sang an extended version of Baa Baa Black Sheep.

We gathered all our sheep toys together for a meeting.

We felt wool clothing.

The girls asked if we could buy some lamb to eat.

Love those girls! Off to the store!
