Deserts

For science we are studying different biomes or habitats as we work are way around the world. We started off studying deserts in North America. My friend brought us back red rocks and sand from Arizona. The kids have to keep up a science journal about what they learn through pictures and writing. Kristen loves frogs. So we studied the Spadefoot Toad among other desert animals. The girls made deserts out of playdoh, toothpicks and dirt from Arizona. Here are some photos of what they created. Kristen even made a bird in her Saguaro cactus. Hannah did a prickley pear cactus and saguaro cactus. One day we even made a tent and pretended to be nomads. Kristen is hunting in this picture and Emma and Hannah were making food. Here is another one of them sleeping. I was also able to school a nomad. Now, that doesn't happen everyday.
