Desert, not to be confused with Dessert, because they are totally different

Okay, so the desert is not the most exciting thing to me, but the kids had a good time leaning about it. :) We talked about what makes a desert a desert and what we might find there (or here, since we live in one). The kids loved adding real sand to the desert pictures that they were coloring. We also talked about all the desert animals that live here. (Paytyn kept yelling out "camels!" :) I had to explain that camels do live in the desert, but a different desert, far away. "like Egypt" she said. Yep, that's right :)

The kids played a number sequencing game with cacti. They worked great together and were very fast at putting them in the right order.
