Measuring spoons and other stuff

Well I have some really, really, really, really, really bad news.  We planted the seeds without you!  But that is ok, I am going to tell you everything we did. 


First, we got all the stuff we needed, seeds, instructions, water, measuring spoons, pots, water, and dirt.  Then I read the instructions to Max and Nina.


Then we put the soil pellets in the bowl and covered them with the water from the measuring spoons.


Then, we smashed the soil pellets with forks to break up the soil.


After that, we poured the soil into the pots, and sprinkled the seeds on top.



Then Max took the pots and put them in the bay window in the school room in a good patch of sunlight.  And guess what?  They haven't grown a BIT!!  I am going to keep checking and I will let you know when I see something growing.  It should be any minute now.


And Momma put some of our extra seeds on a sponge to see if plants can grow without dirt, but I don't think they are going to.

Momma also put all the pictures on my blog for me today.

TOOLS AND GARDENING AND FUN!

Hello, guess what? You get to come to my house soon! Do you know why? Because we are going to plant some fruit and vegetables and flowers! My mom got these little pots and some seeds that have names on them like strawberries and sunflowers and basil and stuff like that! But before you come, you need to pack the stuff we will need. Okay, here is a list of things you need to bring.
(1) shovel
(2) seeds
(3) pots
(4) watering can
(5) GOD
My mom said that once our plants get 3 inches tall, we are going to plant them in the garden in our backyard.  The only way these plants will grow is to give them water and let God give them sunshine.  I will let you know know when it is time to plant them in the ground and you can come over and help!  Right now I am going to go into the house and fix lunch. See you soon!

GOING HOME (PART 2 OF MY JUNGLE EXPEDITION)

(Read the first part here!)

Here is a nice spot for our picnic, just under this tree.  After we finish eating, we are going to take a look at he birds, then we are going to head back to the bus, so we can go home.

Let's see. What do we have for lunch? We have, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hamburgers, chips, salad, cake, cookies, and fresh lemonade. Once we have asked the Lord to bless our food, we will dig right in!

Now that we are finished with our lunch, lets check out that bird exhibit that I told you about, okay? I am sure that you will love it.

Well here we are! Look! A toucan, and a parrot, and lots of humming birds! Lets feed the birds, and then we will head back to the bus, okay?

That was a good safari, but its time we head back to the bus, the kids are sleeping. Now that we our back on the bus, lets go home.

                                                            THE END

SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JUNGLE ANIMALS

Hello! As you can see the title says that there are a little bit of things you need to know about Jungle Animals, and guess what? We get to get to go on a safari! Are you excited?! You are! Well then, lets get started!

Okay, here are some things you need to bring. (1) a notebook. (2) water bottle. (3) a umbrella. (4) a backpack.
(5) a guide book. (6) a raincoat. (7) some snacks. (8) a safari hat. (9) a picnic blanket. (10) a picnic basket.

 Okay, did you get everything packed? You did! Okay lets gets this show on the road! Watch your step as you climb on the bus, take a seat. If you ask me the front seat is the best! Is everyone on the bus?Okay, as you can see the amazon rain forest has lots of trees. No! I did not mean look out your window and there would be some trees! I was just reading from my guide book,. It takes a couple of hours till we get to the Amazon Rain Forest. As I was saying as you can see the rain forest has lots of trees, but some people are cutting down some trees so the animals have no place to live! And we are going to the Rain Forest to find out what kind of animals live there and what they see and do. Okay we are here so stay close together!

On your left you can see a jaguar finishing his meal of a owl. On your right you will see a monkey swinging from the trees. Flying in the air you can see a hummingbird gathering pollen and some butterflies.  Up ahead there is a lion tackling a monkey over some fruit.  Let's find a safe place for our picnic...things are looking dangerous.

Stay tuned tomorrow for what else we see on our safari.  (Read part two here!)
