Mackenzie was hard at work and play

I was so thankful that Margot was able to take my kids to co-op the last day of the semester because Mackenzie was soooo looking forward to making her fairy garden. Mackenzie took two classes this last semester. One was a writing class and she did NOT want to take it, but I thought it would be good for her. It turned out she LOVED it. But her favorite class was the fairy class taught by Mrs. Miller. They did some wonderful things and Mackenzie had such a great time. Check out some of their fun fairy things at Margot's blog. Mackenzie loves her fairy garden. Thank you Margot for sharing your time and talents with the kids.



Okay, for Easter Mackenzie got a frog/bug habitat. She is having so much fun with her African clawed frog tadpole, which has been very educational for us, including her uncle. We thought we knew everything about amphibians and reptiles from our science studies. Well, it turns out that this African claw frog is not you typical amphibian because it doesn't lead a double life. It is totally acquatic and even has claws.

So, that means the frog habitat needs a tenant that lives on both land and in the water. We got some Northern Leopard Frog tadpoles for her habitat. Unfortunately they only survived a few days. Now she has to wait till we move before we get any more. I'm not sure if it was because of the cool weather they didn't survive.

One of the other things she's been working on is completing try-its for her Brownie vest. She wants to earn as many as she can before we move. Here she shows off her box guitar she made for the sounds of music try-it.



Nice job, Mackenzie. Keep up all your hard work.
