Growing Up Wild: Backbone Bonanza
We participated in this month’s Growing Up Wild class offered through San Antonio Parks and Rec. This month’s topic was Backbone Bonanza. There were educational crafts and a nature walk as a group to try and spot different vertebrates in the park. Rabbits, birds, squirrels, even a gentleman’s very large dog! A small trail was observed crossing our walking path, and we saw footprints in the soft dirt. Off in a clearing the group could clearly see two large deer. It was wonderful!
I’ve talked about Growing Up Wild in the past. I went to a workshop with several other homeschoolers and took home the curriculum guide. We have been participating up until recently with a small co-op working through the guide. Now that the Parks and Rec folks are offering monthly programs, we are taking advantage of their knowledge and expertise.
Wow, sounds like a great program.

It really is! I saw that San Antonio Botanical Garden is hosting a Growing Up Wild workshop this fall – its three hours, costs $25 and you get the curriculum guide after attending. Here’s the link: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e6w3sirfc7dfc6aa&llr=t7fgmrfab
