LEARNING ABOUT WILDLIFE IN OUR BACKYARD (HOMESCHOOL WRAP UP)


We are so blessed to see alot of wildlife in our backyard. Our backyard butts up to a preserve area. We do alot of our homeschooling out there, doing nature studies! My 23 month even loves it! Here are some of the recent creatures we have seen and learned about!

    All very cool-except the snake :)! We had an Egret in OUR yard a couple weeks ago, and they are not usually up here. They are so pretty! Looks like a lot of fun!

    I'm impressed at what you were able to find in your backyard. We hear a lot of birds, but have yet to see anyone we can identify.
