We started off November with the kids giving bird presentations at the Rio Grande Open Space. They all did such a wonderful job preparing. I know my kids were very excited to share what they learned with everyone.

The week before Thanksgiving was bread day at my house. Elizabeth Bean taught how to make yeast rolls and how to roll them out. She also showed the difference between gluten and gluten-free bread, so illustrated the role of gluten in breads. The kids loved it.
I also taught them how to make artisan bread in 5 minutes a day. Honestly, I think the mostly loved the eating, and the playing while they waited for bread to cook in the oven.
The last week we did a small hike around Petroglyphs National Monument. There are 3 different trails in the monument that show some drawings from the ancient pueblo people. The kids enjoyed walking around and trying to decipher what the drawings were trying to depict, and to figure out which were real and which were graffiti.

It was the perfect hike for fall...not too hot or too cold!
