A Private Eye Nature: Winter World
http://aprivateeyenature.blogspot.com/2011/02/winter-world.html
A Private Eye Nature. Nature study, art, and writing through the lens of a loupe. Thursday, February 24, 2011. It's been a few years since we've had this much snow, and after all the frustrations of moving it out of the way of our vehicles and getting it off the rooves of our houses, we can then get out and enjoy it. My boys were convinced that we could not do A Private Eye Nature in the winter because there was nothing to look at. What an opportunity that presents for learning! To find out how. Catholic...

A Private Eye Nature: Autumn Colors
http://aprivateeyenature.blogspot.com/2010/11/autumn-colors.html
A Private Eye Nature. Nature study, art, and writing through the lens of a loupe. Thursday, November 11, 2010. A mild September remained green for so long that we almost forgot autumn's regular show. October quickly blazed and summarily faded to the rich brown hues of November, when the trees go bare one by one. During that brief time of beauty we could not help but look closer at Nature shouting all around us. A maple leaf, a wild cherry, and the lavender that would soon be gone. The sunset, an arrowhead.

A Private Eye Nature: June 2011
http://aprivateeyenature.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A Private Eye Nature. Nature study, art, and writing through the lens of a loupe. Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Surprising Wealth of Living Nature Books. Part of A Private Eye Nature is to use nature studies as an inspiration for creative arts, though my kids have not quite picked up on this aspect of it. After discovering the Nature section of my favorite used bookstore, I realized that I was neglecting a fundamental tenet of a Charlotte Mason education: Living Books as examples of excellent nature writing.

We walked into the woods to find something interesting to examine and yet again the Mountain Laurel captured our imagination. This time it was its seed. A small, round, hard, sticky ball. That seed spreads by sticking to things," my boys informed me. Was it sticky because of a substance with which it coats itself, or does it have tiny hooks, as Ds#2 suggested? One day a seed ...

Lighting A Fire: Back to School- Some Resources
http://jacobiteroseschool.blogspot.com/2012/08/back-to-school-some-resources.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Back to School- Some Resources. So it is about that time of year, where everyone who homeschools is ready to start back at their work. This usually coincides with the arrival of the new school supplies, and the mother's eagerness to start increases exponentially with the number of new books she has to try out! Well, maybe that is a slight. Exaggeration, but if you have been there, I am sure you know the feeling! If you want to teach vocabulary to your kids, as a subject. Willi...

Talking to Myself: October 2011
http://cherylinma.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Continuing the obedience unit we moved on to kings and queens specifically of the Middle Ages. During our first week we focused on how castles were built, why they were used and what the many different aspects of the castle were created for. Although the children read quite a few books on the subject, my favorite was Castle by David Macaulay along with the DVD by the same name. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
