This morning at breakfast, Aikman asked, "What's a cactus?" So, while we ate our breakfast, I showed him pictures of cacti, which lead us into a discussion about singular and plural words (cactus vs. cacti). We talked about the different shapes and sizes, and unfortunately, we even had to talk about how some people are "not very nice" in pictures with cacti (I'm not going to expound any further, but you can find out yourself when you google image the word cactus).
That lead to a discussion about where cacti live, and pulling up images of the desert. He's even asked if we can do some activities about the desert.
So, be looking for posts later this week (and probably some printables too) about the desert.

Awesome! Hope that your family will love learning about the desert as much as we did...
We did a big study about the desert.
I have loads of resources I could email you if you would like them...
Here is a link to a post that shows the books we used and some of the projects we did to go with the desert.

We had to order our books from Amazon, as the libraries and local bookstores hardly had a thing...
so you might wanna do the same.
If you lived closer, I would lend you all of our materials...
Please let me know if you want me to send you some of the pdfs and links we used...
Have a happy day!

Thought you might be interested in some cactus happenings from my hometown, Phoenix, Arizona. Just email me if you need more pics or details. I'd love to share as it was quite a remarkable story.
