exploration day with daddy


One of the great things about our curriculum is that there is an entire day set up for exploring! Our exploration days fall on the day Ben usually has off work! This worked great for our lesson on trees...seeing as daddy knows A LOT about trees! :) Ben took over this lesson and I got to sit back and watch (and take pictures!) The kids had a great time!


We learned that you can tell how old a tree is by counting the rings
