1st Grade: Week 35 Highlights

The biggest highlight of this week was our bird dissection.  I didn't know if "Rupert" would be upset or fascinated by this, but we gave it a try anyway.  Turns out he was not upset at all, and really liked learning about what was inside a bird!

Youre such a good momma. We had a bird die near us (baby fledgling out of the tree) and that would have made a great dissection but I can't do it. :(

I'm fascinated and grossed out all at the same time!
