I’m writing out ahead of time what our plan is for the week and then I will be posting photos, here and on my Instagram, as we progress! This week we will be learning about the birds we could see in our backyard – so feel free to swap these out with the birds for your area. I found our list simply by searching “Colorado Most Common Birds” and found this page.
** Reminder: We will still be doing our core subjects (math, writing, reading) and then filling the rest of our time exploring this topic.
