Fall leaf Quilt A painting activity

We put all the pieces of art together with a border and called it our fall quilt.

The children painted real leaves and made a print.

Less paint gave a lacy look 

Each child chose their own fall colors.

All the varieties made a beautiful quilt picture.

Live Feed to see Eagle Eggs Hatch

http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles

Last year a research team put up high resolution cameras to see Eagle eggs hatch. and it is that time of year again.  This is something we don't usually  get to see as the eagles are quite protective and the nests are very high up in the trees.  They have information about eagles and the size of the nests too. I encourage you to show your children this real life science lesson.  It is super cool.  One caution though,  the eagles do bring the carcass of small rabbits, etc to feed the babies, but that is part of nature.
