Today, Jasmine's class studied Javelina's... which if you ever hike or walk anywhere in Arizona... (and you wouldn't want to do that right now since the whole state is on fire)....you will typically run into a family of javelina's. Last time I was on a walk with Spirit, we ran into a little baby javelina completely covered in cactus spines. He looked like a little porcupine. No mommy with him at all. I couldn't catch him, and I'm sure he became someone's lunch:( They read the story "Three Little Javelina's" They also discussed the desert terrain and the type of animals here. Jazzy came home with a cup painted brown tied around her nose.... a little pig nose.. as well as her drawings of saguaro cactus.
Tomorrow is "farm day" at the zoo. There is a farm at the zoo with horses, pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, etc... so they will read the book "Can't Sleep without Sheep", then go feed the farm animals. Apparently every day they play in some fountains somewhere too- with their clothes on, but they dry very quickly in our 5% humidity.
Swimming yesterday.
Coming back from a walk/hike today at the zoo.
