I’ve been using single serve lemonade packets for the base the last couple of years. About 8 ounces of water, so twice as strong as recommended. Other than that, perfect medical advice.
That stuff is not for me.
I’m good for 1 or 2 at a time.
Selection was not great at the local gas station.
I completely understand.
I only had 45 minutes per group of students. 4 groups of 2nd graders! I start by talking about what makes an animal a mammal and with each animal I talk about food, habitat, and what might be a predator of them. I bring a fur of each animal with me, if the animal has cultural significance like a beaver we talk about that too. It’s different every time based on what I grab off the fur rack, but Today I had:
Lemmings and moles would make an interesting contrast.
I have skulls and teeth for a lot of the mammals. That’s a separate presentation.
I really enjoy the stories a youngster can spin. I hear a lot of “my dad killed one of those” even if it’s not something they should be hunting.
Some of em ain't spinning they just didn't know not to tell lol.
What a coincidence me too!!
Once 12 of the left variety are gone I will start on the one on the right.
We had a 6-year-old grandson of my wife's best friend over one day. He saw right away that I was a hunter and told me his uncle took him hunting. He said his favorite part was when the deer's eye would light up.
Some distant family down south was telling me how he went out on there property and didn't think it was very sporting how another member of the family puts that huge pile of corn out. Smh.
Different program and it was for kindergarteners, but we were talking about beavers. I showed them the fur, the feet, the teeth. We talked about their fur being waterproof and people used it for clothing because of that. At the end the kids made a beaver puppet using a paper bag and other supplies. All of a sudden I hear the teacher screaming at a little girl. “Put your crayons away, your done, I told you not to draw that anymore!” So, I casually walked over to see what the girl had done and I see that she had drawn a very large penis on her beaver puppet.
