Bearded Dragon Class

A couple weeks ago Owen mentioned in a lot of detail how he wants to hold a class about bearded dragon's. I thought this was awesome but figured he would drop it. I should know better, of course he asked is I had sent out the invitations. So I went forth and he held two classes. He had two students for the first and four for the second. 

He was really cute but of course a little nervous. He taught (I of course helped feed him what to tell next by questions), then allowed everyone to touch Beardy, did a craft, had snack and then free play. I really love that he wants to teach others and learn himself. 

First portion of his first class



After he talk about bearded dragon's he also wanted to show his science museum items off, which includes some of Beardy's skin he has shed.

 He was so cute and took his role seriously and passed everything around

Then Beardy came out

Then he had his second class and we created a better craft. Aiden could not wait and made his beforehand. Then he showed it off to the class as the sample. He was proud of himself.




Second class, Owen did start the same way by showing a picture of a Bearded dragon puffed up like a frilled lizard.


He passed around the skin and showed the difference between a lizard and snake.

Skel Skel had to join in class and is actually holding the skin too
 Now the Beardy portion
