I love this picture above- someone took it during our homeschool field day.
Below, T is practicing a speech at Classical Conversations.
One of the experiments at CC was to build something that could protect an egg if dropped from about 7/8 feet. He didn't advance to round 2, but it was a fun learning experience!
Lately, one of the things Bug enjoys is listening to a Star Wars book with the Audible app, as he follows along.

And here is what he is most proud of....his chicks. He named them, and wants to put bands on their feet to tell them apart.... still working on that. This has been a great experience for him, he buys the supplies, and makes sure they have food and fresh water. Hopefully, they should begin to lay eggs between September-November.
Below is their "in between" home, after they could start living outside, and until they got to where they could fly up to the top of the fence/gate.
There is a cover (bottom of a plastic tote) over the food, because it is open on top. And, Corbin made two "lean to" pieces, to provide extra shade. This is "phase one"- later we will add a cover for the top, and build a new home (hutch) so that the "brooding box" (where they lay their eggs) actually sticks out of the coop, and Thomas can collect the eggs without having to go inside, he'll just lift up the roof of the brooding box.
