Lsst Week of School 2010

This week we only have two days of school, A8 has to finish her math and X6 is just reviewing his RME words. They are also creating their new Winter nature study journals. I was only going to do fall ones this year but we've been doing so well with them that I thought the winter one would be a great idea!

I'm using the templates found in Five in a Row's Winter Nature Studies.

The Five in a Row Digital Nature Studies are not just a list of activities of things to do in each season. Rather they are an encouragement for you and your children to begin a life style of becoming more observant about each season, and noticing and learning throughout the year more about the nature around you. It is a call to begin to discover together the signals of each season drawing to a close and the signs of the next season beginning. The Five in a Row Digital Nature Studies are an attempt to inspire you to enjoy the many aspects of each season through signs of nature, music, poetry, stories, and more.

We don't really use the stories, music or poems part of it, just the observation templates, maybe as they get older I will incorporate the other stuff.
