Easter egg experiment

This year we tried making our own egg dye by boiling food items in water and vinegar.  We used blueberries, blackberries, red hots, sweet tarts, jellybeans, starburst, Tumeric, and kool-aid.  It was a fun experiment but very time consuming since each item had to boil separately and the color was weak so the eggs had to sit in the dye longer.  We also used different colored eggs - white, brown, and one of BoPeep's green eggs!

Outdoor Adventure

Butter, Caramel, Phantom, and Black Ghost are growing up so fast!  They got their first taste of the great outdoors today thanks to the sun.  Elena and Rainey made sure they stayed safe in their pen.

A history of human shelter

Elena's class had a presentation fair on the history of humans.  Subjects included religion, clothing, nutrition, and defense.  So much information and very impressive displays.  Great job on your prehistoric shelter model and fancy labels Elena!  We are so proud of you!
