Previous blogs in this series:

Many of the resources I found for the food chain, the food web, herbivores, carnivores, ominivores, consumers, producers, and decomposers were offered for sale. Be sure to check out our Pinterest Board:   Science: Food Chain for additional ideas. 

It may be more cost effective to have any photographic cards printed at your local print shop. You may receive a better printing quality and save money on otherwise expensive home printer ink. You could allow the student to cut animal pictures from magazines, or use a variety of animal photo cards or plastic animal sets from your other resources.

Homestead Creamery Field Trip 10/06/18


Today, we drove nearly an hour to get Homestead Creamery ice cream cones. They're that good! 

This was our first visit to their country store and thoroughly enjoyed everything we saw. It was hard not to walk out without more than we did. We'll definitely be going back, soon. 

If you're ever in our neck of the woods, I'd highly suggest you stop by and taste a little bit of country.


I think I'll be dreaming of ice cream tonight. 😄
