Spring has officially arrived here in Northern California. In fact, it's seemed to come on with a vengence. A case of coming in like a lion! It's about this time of year that I turn into an unschooler and want to spend all day outside... gardening... watching birds... hiking in the woods.
If you ask me, there's nothing better than hands-on nature learning in the spring. In fact, my head is full of plans for planting sunflowers and hatching butterflies. Even though my kids are older, there are still a few projects we enjoy repeating year after year. And there's really nothing like a hone grown tomato.With that in mind, I've been collecting spring resources... remember the younger years of our homeschool and how in the spring we turned to the outdoors. I hope you'll find these to be a blessing.
Looking for More Ideas:
*Watch for signs of spring like new buds appearing on the trees
*Sketch a spring bulb as it blooms
*Watch for the first birds to arrive in the spring
*Hatch caterpillars
*Fly a kite and notice where the wind takes it
*Catch tadpoles and watch them grow
*Learn more about organizations like BudBurst
*Learn to identify the different wildflowers in your area
*Search for your state flower and learn more about it
*Start seedlings in seed trays and transfer to your garden
*Watch earthworms and take about how they aerate the soil
What are your favorite ways to include Spring in your homeschool?
