For the last two weeks we have been
studying our natural world. This has been
our spring block. The science portion
of our homeschooling. We explore in many ways
mostly through getting out in nature.
Everyday we would go out,
mostly studying our local
river and pond.
We watched all the bird life.
We found frogs and turtles.
We checked out books from the library
on our wildlife. We discussed the life
cycle of the frogs and birds. Beside
the books from the library everyday we
read the most delightful stories
We also looked closely at the water.
It was remarkable how much life was contained into
a one quart jar.
We drew pictures of all of our findings.
We crafted projects for Easter as well.
Besides all the crafting we baked cookies
that we decorated like Easter eggs.
Next week we are
TESTING.
This will be Matthew's first test.
It will be a shorter week due to
our continual celebration of the season!
Until then

Good Morning, Nikki,
I have enjoyed your blog. I love that you are talking about nature etc, but I see one part of the puzzle that will help the kids put everything together. That is Our Lord God, the creator of all things. In His Wisdom everything comes together. Help the kids to know to thank Jesus for everything. I know as a catholic we were taught that.
That is part of the blessings that you talk about.
Jane
