We are so far behind where I wanted to be in our Nature challenges but I am happy that we are getting back to it. We have had a good time relaxing since the kids have been out of school. This week we started some light work using the Work Box System. But that is for another post. I have a lot to say about a few changes in our homeschool and so I will have several post this weekend.Rebekah and Sarah did a little nature investigation on their own yesterday. Sarah found a high perch to over see all the nature in our yard.
Challenge #3 was to continue to focus on using your sense as you observe nature. The challenge also encouraged drawing. This was great because my kids really like this part of their nature journals. They both choose to do a leaf rubbing. Even though we have many leaves in the yard I think they chose a leaf from the same tree.
Here is Rebekah sitting in the corner of the yard shaded by a cocoa tree.

Here is Rebekah's journal page. She had decided to use a binder with sleeves for her journal pages so she included her leaf for future viewing.
Here is Joshua having fun in the yard with his sisters.

Joshua is just monkeying around!!
We had fun with this challenge but I don't know if we will be able to do much in July. We have meetings and other ministry activities planned so we will just have to see. We will at least be back to schooling full time in August and I have scheduled Nature study as a weekly activity.
