Our Nature Study focus this semester is trees. Each week, the students visit local parks in search of different types of trees. So far, we have studied the Bur Oak, Crape Myrtle, and Pecan tree.
From Charlotte Mason's writings:
“Consider, too, what an unequaled mental training the child-naturalist is getting for any study or calling under the sun-the powers of attention, discrimination, of patient pursuit, growing with his growth, what will they not fit for him?” (Vol. 1, p. 61).
