Our collection of treasures
Soaking in the fragrant lilacs
Pun'kin Head digging nature
Sweet Pea releases her ladybugs she raised
Killdeer nest and egg discovery!
Scooping up creek specimens
Scoping out the pond life
Spying on the geese
Appreciating God's creation is a huge part of our homeschooling experience. Our kids have always enjoyed going on nature hikes and exploring for nature treasures. We have always kept nature journals. It's a great way to engage kids who normally see writing or drawing as a chore. There is a new found excitement when making a journal entry about something discovered first hand. We tend to be out and about more during the warmer months, but fall and winter is a great time for studying nature, as more animals come out of hiding in search of food and local birds are easier to spy in trees that have shed their leaves. Here are a few of our favorite snaps of enjoying nature.
