Oh what a beautiful day it was today! Cool, and a blue sky. We decided to take school on the trail. We have a pretty good patch of woods behind our subdivision that seems to go on forever. There 's a creek that winds around all over the place as well, so it's always fun to explore the creek bed when the water is way down the way it is right now. The kids brought along their sacks for collecting different nature specimens. Their instructions were to collect several samples (rocks, leaves, fallen bark, etc.), bring them back home and sketch them. They did a wonderful job!! I can't wait to share them.
The kids are also learning a great deal about animal tracks and scat. They did a good job identifying deer, racoon, some kind of bird (possibly turkey), and coyote tracks. Also came across some deer, racoon, and coyote scat. (Not everybody gets excited about that!!! ha!)
Afterwards we took a trip to the library and the dentist. Just a great overall day of relaxed and fun-filled learning.
Hi! My name is Deborah, and I want to thank you for taking a moment out of your busy day to visit Home For Him. I hope in some small way that you find encouragement and ideas for not only your homeschooling experience, but also your walk with God. I live in Kentucky with my Honey of 17 years, our three adventureous kids, and our small zoo of two dogs, a cat, a bird and three reptiles. Together, we have a heart for serving, and a love for studying God's Word and learning about His creation. Welcome to our world!
