Flying Factuals (lesson 3)

A big THANK YOU to my amazing MIL and FIL for joining our science class yesterday and teaching such a fun, hands on, feet moving, lots of learning type of class. Here is the re-cap...

First Grandma Jenny taught us to sing in Japanese and sound like a bird...

Then we were reminded that it takes more than feathers to fly...

Then we learned that size doesn't matter either...

We learned about thermal winds...

We got to see a bird right above us gliding/floating on a thermal wind...

Then we migrated like silly nerds (oops... I meant birds) - yes, I'm quoting G'pa Paul!

We learned that there is a magnetic North and some birds have built in compasses to find it...

We learned how birds use constellations to help guide the way...

AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LEARNING ALL OF IT!!!!! Thanks again to both G'ma Jenny and G'pa Paul - you guys went above and beyond (as usual) and we were all blessed because of it. We can't wait for lesson 11 on Beetles, Flies and True Bugs!

Okay, now here are some pictures of my cute kids playing in the yard today for your viewing pleasure.

And lastly I must mention that my same wonderful mother-in-law came over again today to teach me how to use my sewing machine... I had so much fun! I just couldn't stop... SEW FUN and SEW CUTE!

These are reversible and there is one for Avery and one for cousin Lauren.

And this is a picture of each side of the one for my beautiful niece Brooke - but don't tell her because it's for her birthday! Yee haw Brookie!
