4H Savannah Beach What kid wouldn’t like to have class at the beach? Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any. So while all those normal kids got up bright and early and went to go sit at a desk for 8 hours. We learned how to take care of exotic animals, feed them, clean out their cages and even watched a snake eat a mouse. To end the day we learned Continue reading

We discussed which attributes each phylum had. Then for fun the teacher divided the kids Continue reading

We actually had a little classroom time but the instructor got all the kids involved, while they learned little also. So here is what Continue reading
