Adventure Club: Reptiles 10/7/2009

Wednesday, October 7th 1:00: Please note the time change for this meeting. It will be later in the day in order to accommodate Stephanie who will be driving several hours to do our presentation for the day.
I AM I Learning Center at Weaver's Bottom: This is located on Robin's property in Kingsland. Directions can be found by clicking on the link to the right that says "Directions To Adventure Club Meetings".
Activities: Join us for a special presentation given by wildlife expert and homeschool mom Stephanie Wagner. At past meetings she did wonderful presentations on tortoises and spiders, this time she will be teaching us all about reptiles. Stephanie will be bringing many reptiles along with her- including ones that are native to South America, Australia, Africa and Asia. In addition to teaching us all about her particular reptiles she will answer any questions you might have and be available to go over pet care for anyone who owns a reptile or is considering purchasing one. After her presentation, Robin and Jennifer will be leading the group in activities that focus on reptiles that are native to Texas. In addition, our kids will be teaching some fun reptile yoga poses to the group. There will also be time set aside for the kids to share any reptile projects that they bring to the meeting.
Bring: Stephanie has asked that we please DO NOT BRING REPTILES (pets or wild) to this class as there is a slight chance of spreading disease to her reptiles- she will have plenty to share with us. The one exception is that if anyone has a pet reptile they need to rehome she would be happy to take it. We will be outside for much of this meeting so bring along hats or sunscreen of needed, and wear closed shoes. If you suffer from outdoor allergies please be aware that Robin's property is full of beautiful plants and trees- a good day to take any preventative allergy medicines that you use. Wear your LAHAC shirts if you have them. Bring $2 per participating child to cover the cost of meeting supplies.
Share With Us: Our children will be working on Texas reptile projects over the next month to share with the group or display in the classroom. Please feel free to work on your own reptiles projects to share/display at the meeting- we would love to see a wide variety of projects! They can be simple collages, crafts, drawings, reptile stories or poetry, reports, experiments, photos of reptiles or anything else you can think of. There are some helpful reptile links on the blog, if you have others to recommend please add them to the comments section of that blog post.
RSVP: Please RSVP or send questions to Robin & Jennifer at lahac1@gmail.com by September 23rd. Include your name, contact information and the names and ages of children who will be attending. **If this is your first time attending an Adventure Club meeting at I AM I Learning Center you will be asked to sign a release upon arrival for each person attending.
