Due to vacations, out of town business trips and overall summer fun our progress with the Summer Nature Study is slow, but steady. I find this approach to our studies for the summer is one that encourages a true sense to learn.
A fascination for mosquitoes has developed as we've grown to learn the complexities in how they breed and exist. After I was bitten by a mosquito on Wednesday evening it was with exuberance that my daughter exclaimed, "A female bit you, a female bit you."
Resources for this study include: The Handbook of Nature Study, Discover Nature at Sundown and Summer Nature Study .
This is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by our page - I do love the ease of the summer. I was writing more "report" style until the summer - and we threw in family fun and letting the boys have their weirdo voices, instead of my mom voice. I can't tell you how much more fun I've had letting them tell a story about our learning. :) Thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteNice! Did you do that mosquito portrait?
ReplyDeleteWe are having fun in our Nature Study Kim!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. My little one and I loved your video and pictures. It was great to see the little menaces up close like that. WONDERFUL! and thank you too.
ReplyDeleteI did not Susan, That was a part of the study that Barbara McCoy wrote. I am learning a lot from her blog and resources!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteGreat study...love that your daughter connected the info with real life. I know you think you are slow and steady but that is a positive thing in my book...keep it up.
Thanks for sharing your link,
