We saw real live alligators up close and personal at this full time working alligator farm. We saw gators of all sizes, from new hatchlings to full grown monsters! Greenwood Gator Farm houses and hatches 5,000 - 10,000 alligators each year. We took a guided tour of how Louisiana alligators are born and raised and learned about the centuries old art of alligator hunting from real life hunters. We find out how they go from an egg to boots and purses and sauce piquantes! (Mr. Tim buys alligator from Liz on the History Channel show "Swamp People".) <iframe height="360" src="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/embed/slideshow/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/Gator%20Farm" width="480"></iframe> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408796905649940177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392137067390368261.post-3268566817630866922014-05-29T19:00:00.000-05:002014-06-21T14:24:14.813-05:00BCH Homeschool ForumOn Thursday, May 29th Bayou Cajun Homeschoolers hosted a homeschooling question & answer forum. <br> <a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614342_zps55f11fd9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614342_zps55f11fd9.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614342_zps55f11fd9.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614345_zps5672f68e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614345_zps5672f68e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614345_zps5672f68e.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614351_zps1d4f19ad.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614351_zps1d4f19ad.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614351_zps1d4f19ad.jpg"/ width = "266"></a> <a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614346_zpsbf50fb3c.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614346_zpsbf50fb3c.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614346_zpsbf50fb3c.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614347_zps1ae8fa70.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614347_zps1ae8fa70.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614347_zps1ae8fa70.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614348_zpsad7cfcd0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614348_zpsad7cfcd0.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614348_zpsad7cfcd0.jpg"/ width = "266"></a> <a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614349_zpsa37baf02.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614349_zpsa37baf02.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614349_zpsa37baf02.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614344_zps7ad1e2fe.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614344_zps7ad1e2fe.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614344_zps7ad1e2fe.jpg"/ width = "266"></a><a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614350_zps8ec01e66.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614350_zps8ec01e66.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614350_zps8ec01e66.jpg"/ width = "266"></a> <a href="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/media/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614352_zps91214b89.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/candlinz/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/4x6-0614352_zps91214b89.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 4x6-0614352_zps91214b89.jpg" width="800" /></a> <br> Thankfully, one of our moms was able to record the event for those that weren't able to attend.<br> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TlVTFBUdFUs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408796905649940177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392137067390368261.post-55109233386149780802014-05-13T09:00:00.000-05:002014-06-21T14:07:05.161-05:00LSU AgCenter Botanic Garden at Burden<p><b></b></p> <p>On Tuesday, May 13th we had a field trip to LSU AgCenters Botanic Garden at Burden.  We participated in the program called “<b>Trees and Trails.”  </b>We started with an ice breaker and then split into 3 groups that hiked the short trail.  Along the trail we stopped for 3 hands-on/interactive stations:  Tree Cookies, Life on the Edge, and Invasive Species.  After the short hike/learning stations, we broke for lunch.  Then, those of us who wanted to stay went on a guided hike on the long trail (1 1/4 mile).  As we were coming back from the hike, we had an afternoon shower that caught us.    </p> <p>About the Stations: </p> <p><b>Tree Cookies</b> - Students learn about resources that trees need to live, how trees compete for resources, and how to read tree rings.</p> <p><b>Life on the Edge</b> - Students learn that habitat loss is the primary reason for the loss of species through a game a game called Habitat Scramble in which each student plays the part of an animal that loses its habitat.</p> <p><b>Invasive Species</b> - Students learn how invasive species disrupt life cycles, through the example of the Chinese Privet and the story of the European Starling and the Eastern Bluebird.</p> <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s937.photobucket.com/user/candlinz/embed/slideshow/Bayou%20Cajun%20Homeschoolers/Botanic%20Garden"></iframe> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408796905649940177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2392137067390368261.post-45925425369256577632014-04-03T10:00:00.000-05:002014-04-23T13:05:06.198-05:00Strawberry Picking field tripOn Thursday, April 3rd we went strawberry picking at Landry-Poche Farms.
