Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
We started this study and it just seemed to take us forever to get through it because we did all sorts of things in between. It was a really interesting study and I especially liked the part on eyes.
Smell experiments caused lots of screaming. HA!!
Touch experiments and fingerprinting.
Sight
Taste
Cute photo of Dani looking at all the Senses books we got from the library. To buy the study from Amanda Bennett’s site, go here.
We had passes to the Butterfly Garden in Dallas and of course I forgot about them and we scooted in on the last day. Each day at noon they release some new butterfly’s to join the ones already in the garden. The outdoor gardens are beautiful too and we enjoyed the lunch I had packed outside. They also have a place on site with “Snakes of Texas” that the girls enjoyed.
It’s next door to the Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park where we have annual passes so we went there after seeing the butterfly garden.

At the end of March we were busy with trips to the zoo, our last classes for co-op this school year and enjoying the lovely spring weather.
Learning about the Bonobo’s at the zoo.
Sprinkler fun.
Dani’s first flower from a boy. And cute photo from a slide.
The kids who get to do the 3rd year of museum school go on a field trip at the end of the year to the Botanical Gardens. The trip is lead by Miss Spotted Bear who works for the museum. She is really sweet and knows a lot about trees and animals.
The kids are checking out this little pond and Miss Spotted Bear collected some of the water for the kids to look at and discuss.
They found a cool insect that she packed up to take back to the museum. (the photos I took of it were too blurry)
Feeding the turtles frozen peas.
I am glad that on our walk we didn’t come across the prior owner of this skin 🙂
I had a great time with Amelie and her class exploring the Botanical Gardens.
