We watch them all year long and they are especially pretty against all the snow we've had the past two winters. Since I retired, I have been learning more about birds and have an app on my iPhone called "iBird Explorer Backyard." I use it often to help me identify the birds I see on my feeders and in the yeard. <br /><br />I follow your blog regularly and though we don't have children or grands who are autistic, we have one juvenile diabetic, 2 with Tourette's and and one with learning disabilities. They have been in public school, homeschooled and in Christian schools. One DIL is looking into magnet schools in her area.<br /><br />Have a great day and take care.<br /><br />Wilma in WVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-29328316484492933012011-03-10T14:26:52.112-06:002011-03-10T14:26:52.112-06:00If it helps you out at all, you can tell him that ...If it helps you out at all, you can tell him that Pluto was officially reclassified as a dwarf planet<br /><br />http://www.kidscosmos.org/kid-stuff/pluto-facts.html<br /><br />So while it doesn't get to sit at the big planet's table anymore, it is still allowed to sit within earshot of the conversations. :)Mary O.

If you do this over the course of a few years, you will start to understand not only life cycles but seasonal cycles and weather changes. It's great to take on a field trip if you go to the zoo, aquarium, or a park for a picnic lunch.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-77724205455217718832011-03-10T05:58:01.805-06:002011-03-10T05:58:01.805-06:00Totally off topic here:- I really like that spinni...Totally off topic here:- I really like that spinning earth you have showing where your readers and commenters are coming from.
