Yesterday we were able to go on a field trip with our church's Christian School. We went to a clock museum and learned many interesting facts about clocks, plus we got to see a lot of really cool clocks.
Later that afternoon we all went on a nature walk. We as a family have walked in the woods many times and pointed out God's creation to our children, but we've never done a nature walk like this before. There's a great blog called Hearts and Trees which I think I found from Candace's Blog. On the Hearts and Trees blog, she has free downloadable pages for a Spring Nature Walk Worksheet. It is wonderful.
How is this different than walking in the woods pointing things out to your children? Well, we read the sheet before we started on our walk and this way the children knew what they were looking for. This makes them responsible for being observant and observant and excited they were. They even found things that were not on the downloadable sheet.
The negative, I forgot my camera for the day. It was so fun to see them smelling wildflowers and touching a moist rotting tree. I would have loved to have pictures of this. I'm sure my mother-in-law would agree that we all had a great time.
Since I forgot my camera, I got this photo from a site called FreeFoto. It looks like they have a ton of pictures.
