7 Ways for Your Child to Learn about Nature

Posted in Education

We love being out in nature. At this time we are doing a lot of studying at the park, even when it is just book work.

Here are some ideas for your family:

* Identify trees and their leaves.

* Identify other plants.

* Observe insects and butterfiles.

* Learn about marine life.

* Look for and identify animal tracks.

* Observe the birds.

* Observe and track the weather.

My name is Shannon, homeschool mom to Skye and Zowie who are doing 12th and 11th grade work. This blog will be used to help new and veteran homeschoolers, and to record what we are up to. It will also be used to inform people of our website updates. I am a proud member of themompack.com, where moms help promote other moms businesses. A must for any mom who has her own business. It is free to join.
