Nature Walk

On Friday, we had Joy School. We sang a song "The Earth is Mine" and then read about the color Green from "Hailstones and Halibut Bones". Then we got to experience nature with our 4 senses (we didn't eat anything). There's a little trail leading to the road by our mailbox. This walk took us 20 minutes.

They had their nature viewers to focus on things. Also we had little bags to collect different plants and bring them back.

The kids ended up getting involved and pointing things out of their own. On the normal recommended schedule that Joy School sets up, this lesson would have been October 1st. By the times it is getting chilly for us and most of the wild flowers are dieing so I'm glad we did this early.

They collected sunflowers, leaves from different bushes, and many different colored flowers. Then they glued them on a paper for a collage.

Hailey really enjoyed this activity. It was a big hit.

Here is my collection so you can see the different plants we got.
