Back Yard Nature Study

There has been no school this week. None. Not even reading. Gasp! And it's all gonna be alright. Sickness has taken over {again}, and one of the benefits of starting school in July is taking time off when needed.

But last week we had a full week of school. And it was fun!! My kiddos love to be outside, so nature studies are always a favorite activity. We measured out one square-yard in the back yard, and the kiddos observed everything they saw.

They had to draw their observations first while standing.









And then they got low to the ground and made more observations.





Buddy-Ro observed a bird chirping up high, too. :)





They observed grass, dirt, mud, bugs, a mole hole, recently fallen leaves, dead leaves, pine straw, bugs, a cracked bird egg, and more bugs. They loved it!!
