Nature Girl spends a lot of time outside, especially lately, as it's been spring-like weather. I like to encourage her appreciation of God's creation, so I have her keep a nature journal. Unfortunately, we haven't done a lot this year! Here are some examples of her work in Kinder and Grade 1.
How do we do nature study? Easy--we just go for a walk or to the backyard (we have 20 acres to explore). Whatever catches Nature Girl's eye is fair game. She draws it and puts the page in her 3 ring nature study binder. If you are looking for guidance, I highly recommend Cindi Rushton's Nature Study the Easy Way. She gives great ideas for how to build a beautiful journal, complete with quotations, poems, Bible verses, and examples of her children's work. It's an encouraging resource.
