I am ready to unveil my next set of Nomenclature Cards. Yippee! I worked on these over the weekend and got finished in a hurry. I am learning how to do some fun new tricks which are helping me to get better at creating useful images for card materials. This free downloadable set of zoology nomenclature cards is for the study of the 5 classes of vertebrates: birds, fish, amphibians, mammals, and reptiles. They are meant for introduction AFTER the children have been exposed to real life members of these classes of vertebrates. This is a great montessori zoology manual that I highly recommend. Zoology is fascinating to children. Heck, it is incredibly fascinating to me. The first time I ever learned about the alternation of generations in the jellyfish, I was teaching my oldest child and our homeschool group about cnidarians when she was about 8 or 9. I was simply dumbfounded that something as alien-like as that could exist on our own planet --- and that I never had had the chance to learn anything about it, even in college. I simply LOVED every opportunity I had to explore the world of living and extinct animals with my own children. They are some of my fondest memories from my children's homeschooling years. You can find the Parts of Books blacklines Here.

Do you like how I got that cardinal to pose for my fence pic? It is raining cats and dogs over here, today is especially nuts, I think we’re closing in on 4″ of water falling from the sky over the last twelve hours! Flash flooding and total insanity abound. I am losing my mind not being able to go outside, my heart is crying. I just stare out my windows waiting for it to stop. So out of pure boredom I thought I would do this self indulgent fence post. Stop me when you guys start hating me for seeing my garden in every GD post. I was going to save these fence pics for my June-garden-recap but decided the fence might as well have a post dedicated to it’s beautiful self. It is so pretty after all. Basically, it finally looks like it belongs in the yard now that the perennials are all full size and blooming. I wanted you to see it when things were growing next to it. I could totally make out with that fence. Related posts:Alley AppealAll The Info About My Horizontal Fe...It's the Little ThingsMy July Garden
