Tyler really wanted to journal about the Green Heron we saw but he was a bit intimidated with drawing it, so we opted for a Notebooking page about it. He colored the picture at the top with colored pencils and then did some Copywork telling what we learned about the bird. "The Green Heron uses bait to catch its food. Its nest is made of sticks. Its eggs are green." We also added a printed copy of a photo of the Green Heron that I took on our nature walk that day.
Here he is working on the sky... made up of many shades of blue...
Now, Tyler says his page is much better than mine, but I'll show it to you anyway. Don't make fun of it, ok? ;o)
So that is our Outdoor Hour Challenge #3 assignment. I am also combining it with Challenge #4 (We technically did 3 nature walks that day, so I say its ok to combine two challenges!), which is to pick a focus area for our Nature Study over the next 6-8 weeks. We are choosing to focus on birds, since there are a lot of them out and we seem to be noticing them the most and are very interested in them at the moment. Now this doesn't mean that the only thing we will study is birds for 6-8 weeks. We will learn from whatever intrigues us during our time in Nature.
