Enjoy Summer Learning with Engaging Nature Studies from NaturExplorers

We keep going through June, then for July and August we typically switch to full-time Nature Studies with hands-on Literary Studies that accompany the Nature work. This year, I am really excited to be usingIncredible Creeksfor our Summer Nature Study. Our family absolutely LOVES the NaturExplorers units from Our Journey Westward.

In our family, we love spending time outside. As much as the children enjoying nature walks, however, at times they need some encouragement to get out and get moving.

Sometimes, you just need something a little extra to motivate everyone to enjoy a nice walk and some refreshing time outdoors. Something fun we tried this week was a simple ABC Nature Walk. I actually got this idea from Shining Dawn Books’ 100+ Easy and Simple Creative Nature Walks. (I love this resource, and all her Nature Study units by the way… so many GREAT ideas!) For…
