This past Friday our Nature Club met at a local park to learn about and observe wildflowers. The park had some gorgeous wildflower fields. Here are a few photos from our meeting. Sorry there are not many photos, I find it difficult to lead the meetings and take photos.
It was VERY hot and humid that day, so everyone made their way down under the shade of some trees by a creek.
Even though the above photo doesn't show it The kids had tons of fun making boats from natural materials and racing them in the creek. And below is a dragonfly that was discovered along the pathway.
And just in case you're wondering, all of my teaching materials that I use for teaching the Nature Club is taken from the NaturExplorers series.

I am so inspired regarding your nature coop and then your nature club. This next school year a friend of mine and I are going to be doing a very extensive art coop that will include art apprecitation, history at the time of art subject being discussed, as well as hands on art lessons. But I think the year after I'm going to try and get a nature coop off the ground. Thanks for all you do to inspire and challenge us to get outside and enjoy nature :-)!
