This last spring, we completed the REPTILES, AMPHIBIANS, AND FISH science unit from The Good and the Beautiful. This was a new unit for each of us and we really loved it! I will say, when it comes to the animal kingdom, this is probably at the bottom of my interest level – but all …
We were so excited to make our way to the zoo this last month! We had planned to go in March but then COVID happened and here we are! The main reason for this particular visit was to celebrate finishing our “Reptiles, Amphibians, and Fish” unit in science for Jacob and Sarah. I will say …

Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens …
Thoughts this Winter Oh this winter. As I am writing this, we are in the thick of what feels like MADNESS, so I will try and reflect on the whole winter and not just our current status! This winter treated us really well in many ways. We are still, miraculously, where I kind of wanted …
