Friday, October 7, 2011 - Nature Study

Went for our Nature Study today at Inverness Park and Trails. It was a perfect day for it and the girls had a great time.
Ms. Cathy read them a story about a little red house with no windows or doors but has a star in it. That "house" was an apple and the girls were able to see the "star" when the apple was cut. It was a great lesson and it allowed the girls to narrate back to her also.

Our walk was a time to look for seeds and to see how each thing God made starts with a seed and how it grows into something new. They each had a bag to collect their seeds. After the walk, they were able to sit and draw and share their favorite seed they found. We had a great time!!

Each girl also did their online work. Payton took her lesson quiz for map 9 and got all right!! Emi did her science and LA online. Learned more about prefixes and nutrition.

Here are a few pics from today:
