It's Summer Break!~~Poem

School's out!

It's time to play!

Have some fun 

on a summer day!

I've no time to Blog, 

No time to write,

I'm walking this log

And fishing this lake!

I can't stop to Tweet,

I'm running around
And moving my feet.

If you hear a Twitter,

Know it's not me,

I'm baking a fritter!
I'm going to cook!
I'm going to sculpt!
I'm having a look,

at a horse I might ride.

I'll be picking up litter,

At the river clean-up day.

So if you see me out,

Just say "Hey!"

But don't look for me here.

Wait till September.

At the next school year!

The Odd Zoo

Everyone loves the zoo here at Homeschoop! So we added some new creatures in colorful varieties and with familiar sounding names.  See if you recognize any of them...

AND!  We have three surprise 'pets' at our zoo that are pretty cool.  You'll get a kick out of them.  

Happy Birthday Red Fox

For my birthday, I had a really cool birthday.  I had roller blading, scooter riding and everything.  All my friends were there.  We did lots of exciting stuff.  A science experiment...it was supposed to blow up but it didn't go so well, haha.  Kidding.  We had karaoke and lots of fun as you can tell from the looks on everyone's faces.

Click the words "Science Experiment" to learn how you can do it at home!

If you have anything to say about your fun birthday party, just type into the comments section!  Have fun!

Honey Bees on Red Fox's 'farm'

Bees are weird and cool.  Did you know that boy bees are called drones?  And girls rule the hive.  Once all the boy bees have mated with the queen, the girls kick the boys (aka drones) out.  If they ever come back the girls will kill the boys.  It's just a weird way of living.  Black widows are kinda like that too.  The girl spider eats the boy spider as soon as she's done with him.  And did you know that boy black widows don't look anything like the girl black widows?
Anyway, back to the bees.  Did you know that in a bee's life it can only make less than a teaspoon of honey?   Take a look at our pictures and you'll see that we have some bees and comb and bee hives.  Have fun!
