Just as I am starting over on our homeschool blog, I am also going to get off to a fresh start here! We are beginning third grade this year and looking forward to continuing and deepening the nature study we have been doing the last couple of years. I wish I could go back and share with you some of the things we have done over the last couple of years, but with everything we have going on in our daily life (and in hopes of staying up to date on all my blogs) I will just begin with this new year of school.
We have changed to My Father's World curriculum since the last time I posted here and if you want to read about that you can click over to my homeschool blog using the link in the sidebar. We are really excited about science this year as it is all about animals, biomes, habitats, and various features of the living world. We will be creating a leaf and bark collection this year, along with experiments and learning insights into the natural world around us. We will continue to go on nature walks...either in our yard, neighborhood, or on various hiking trails nearby. Some of these walks will be simple in that Brett will just observe and take pictures or make sketches of things that catch his eye and some of them will follow the actual challenges of the original Outdoor Hour blog (also found as a link in the sidebar).
Most of all, we are just looking forward to being out in creation together and observing all the wonders that God has provided for our enjoyment! I hope this blog or the original Outdoor Hour blog will inspire you and your family to get outside and explore!
