bagel bird feeders and a trip to roper mountain

a couple of fun things we've done for school in the last month....making bagel bird feeders to attract birds to our yard since we are studying flying creatures this year and going to roper mountain for their second saturday even this month which focused on flight....the girls learned about owls, dissected owl pellets (eww!!), explored the living history farm, and saw hobby airplane demos!
