The challenge for week #2 {we skipped a week in between due to Reed!} was touse our words!
Easier said than done :) It didn't mean just talking to talk {um... Emma!}. It meant listening to nature and then
1. Use one word to describe something we heard
2. Use two words for something we saw
3. Use three words for something we felt
{following the direction of:http://handbookofnaturestudy.blogspot.com/ }!!
Here are Kate's words1. crumble
2. yucky pollution
3. A cold rock
Emma's Words:1. Chirping
2. butterfly, ladybug
3. very heavy rocks
The kids are really enjoying the process of getting outside on planned nature walks! They ask what the jobs are for the trip. Our walks conclude with time to write/draw in our nature journals which they think is so fun to do. {Reed mostly enjoys throwing his but it's a start}
This day was especially fun to be outside because it was 80 degrees & beautiful! Not bad for the middle of February!

Awesome! Look how much your babies are learning with YOU!
I really am enjoying your posts about the OHC. It is nice to hear that having a "planned" walk is helping your family get out and enjoy nature close to home. I think you all did a great job with your words and eventually those words may make their way into some nature journal. Thanks again for sharing your link.
Oh, what fun! I loved nature study at that age... and I still do but I'm a slacker. Enjoy, and take my advice to NOT let other things get in the way of making nature study a habit!
