Fun Facts
A camel drinks 30-50 gallons of water at one time and it only takes about 10 minutes to drink that much. Exactly how much a camel drinks varies with the size of the camel, it drinks about 80% of it's body weight.
A camels hump is not full of water, it is actually fat. The hump allows the camel to survive up to two weeks with no food.
Sally/Alice the camel is the only camel with more than 2 humps. "Real" camels can only have up to 2 humps. African camels have 1 hump and Asian camels have 2 humps.

Theme of the Week
We also learned about the seasons this week. The weather is starting to change where we live so we went on a walk and talked about how the leaves are changing and it's getting colder so now we need jackets. When we got home we unpacked the fall decorations and put them up together.
This is a link I liked for reviewing the seasons with my son!
