Above and Beyond Five in a Row
For ABFIAR we continued down our first rabbit trail looking more at birds. This week she did a worksheet from Enchanted Learning on the food chain, researched bird beaks at KidWings, and made a minibook on what different birds eat. She also looked at eggs on KidWings website and completed a sheet labeling the parts of an egg.

Other Stuff
