Lipizzaner Stallions

Homeschool Passport offered a discount to see Lipizzaner Stallions. My daughter and I, both horse lovers, took advantage of it!




Part of the show involved the horses in formation working together in unison.



Another demonstration involved the moves used on the battlefield.









Our favorite horse was the black one called "Elvis" who would only dance to Big Band Music! He wasn't exactly from the Lipizzaner family but close. He was a Fresia. His gait was long and graceful. His hair was very thick and wavy, and it flowed beautifully as he glided across the floor!









We had a great time!




Rhinos, Reptiles, and Recess

A short trip to the zoo brought a close to our unit on the African Savannah. We stopped in to see the elephants and rhinos.

While there, we bumped into a friend who had just finished her study on reptiles, so we tagged along with her. Lots of fun!

Animal of the Week: Cheetah





We study a new animal everyday and one is featured each week. This week is the Cheetah. However, we had a craft that went along with another animal from this week - the hippopotamus!
