Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Zoo Unit

Now that summer is almost over, I need to post about Mommy's Summer School.  With each of our kids, I gave them extra lessons in math, reading, social studies, and science during their 3rd - 6th grade years.


Our little one wanted to learn about animals and their brain sizes.  We researched mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.


For her field trip, we went to the zoo in Columbia, SC.  She saw grizzly bears, koala bears...



 Penguins and kangaroos.



Her favorite was the giraffes, of course.  This zoo even lets you feed and pet them!


After playing on the ropes course and strolling through the botanical gardens, we were tired. Fun day, though!
