Pinecone Exploration Nature Study #NatureBookClub {Link Up}

December 20, 2018 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Since December’s Nature Book Club theme is Evergreens I thought learning about pinecones would be fun. We do not have a specific book about pinecones but can use our Trees of North America Book or our digital version of the Handbook of Nature Study to help guide our pinecone exploration.

Pincecone Exploration Nature Study #NatureBookClub

We took quite a few walks around the neighborhood in October and November looking for nature near home. We found out that our neighborhood has a few different types of Evergreen trees which means pinecones to investigate and explore.

Prairie Wildflower Identification Hike #NatureBookClub {Link Up}

September 20, 2018 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

It’s September already! Can you believe that it’s time for another Nature Book Club link up? It’s week 5 in our homeschool year and we are moving right along as the season changes and Fall is almost upon us. We have been learning about bees and pollinators most of the Summer and as we head into Fall we are focusing on Botany and medicinal plants with our DIY Herbalism Course series. This ties in nicely with September’s theme of Prairie Wildflowers since Goldenrod is what we have seen most!

Prairie flower hike

We try to get outside and enjoy nature as much as possible and since the end of Summer is is here I thought a Prairie Wildflower Identification Hike was in order! Many of our county or neighboring county parks have areas of prairie that we can enjoy and explore.  A few weeks ago we were about an hour away and stopped at a park that was new to us and found a patch of wildflowers.

River Exploration and Frog Catching #NatureBookClub {Link Up}

August 20, 2018 By Thaleia 1 Comment

August is now in full force and many families have had children head back to school but for us we are grasping onto the last few weeks of Summer! This month’s theme for the Nature Book Club is Ponds, Rivers, and Streams! We choose books about rivers and ponds to read and are particularly fond of By Pond and River by Arabella Buckley. You can listen to the audiobook via Librivox for free! The first chapter is all about frogs and then it goes onto share about other creatures who live in or near the pond or river. We have shared a tons of free pond resources and ways to learn about frog lifecycle in previous posts but today I am sharing an actual trip to the river!

We love exploring our county park locations since there’s over 20 places that we can walk, hike, explore and play. One of our family’s favorite is a paved bike path that goes along the river just a 5 minute drive from our house. We park in the parking lot and walk a very short distance to access the trail that leads down to the river.

Free Nature Study Resources

September 27, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I love free resources and digital resources are even better! I have been collecting free homeschool resources for awhile and love using free nature study resources. I think that many parents overlook the incredible value that nature study has to offer. If you take your children out in nature not only are they learning about nature but science, art, community, preservation, and their place in the world! That’s a lot of concepts that you cannot learn from a book!
