Soar with EAGLES!

This coming week we will be continuing our study on birds, but we will be focusing in on the EAGLE! There is so much to learn about this wonderful bird! So many things that I did not even know! (did you know the eagle's nest might be 6 feet in diameter?)

I have noticed that there are not too many children's books out there on eagles! But, I found a few...here are the ones we will be using next week!

Activities, lessons & craftts

**most of our work this week will be on the lapbook as well as finishing up the bird facts and activities we didn't finish from last week! There are just SO many wonderful bird things to do and learn!

*watch this LIVE EAGLE CAM -- this is super exciting! Right now there are several babies in the nest, the girls and I just watched them being fed.

*we will be doing most of this free lapbook on eagles!

*we will listen to what an eagle sounds like HERE

*color and read this page on eagles

*Isaiah 40:31 will be our Bible lesson and copywork for the week.

*still looking for the perfect eagle craft...any ideas for me?

Isaiah 40:31 ~ Those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like EAGLES, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.

Candace,
I thought this was cute. http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/mbaldeagle.htm There was also this. http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/mbagbaldeagle.htm This last one looks a lot harder, but maybe your girls are old enough. I don't really know for sure. http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/beadedsafetypins/l/blspeagle.htm Personally, I like the first one best.

This was our first "real" delight directed study this year. Elijah wanted to learn about this amazing, powerful bird, so we did...which led to birds of prey...which led to Elijah being curious about carnivores...which led to bears (who actually eat plants and animals)...which led Elijah to learn about true carnivores-- big cats and little cats. :)

So much for my grand plans! LOL

Anyway, have FUN! :-) God is so amazing to let us explore and enjoy His creation.

Have fun! :-)
