People know you for what you've done, not for what you plan to do.

Ouch! I have so many good intentions that never materialize! One of my goals for our upcoming school year is to plan "small", not overdo my planning! My great plans aren't what make our year a success, anyhow! Usually, it's the small moments of our everyday life that add up to big learning experiences.
Of course planning is important for most areas of our lives. A loose schedule/routine has been a lifesaver to me in the past. And for my family, a necessity! Planning daily science lessons, though, just doesn't seem to ever pan out! Instead, maybe I can be realistic and enjoy an afternoon of science read-alouds and experiments. Nature study seems to be on going at our house. But I could be a good example and pull out my own nature journal. The kids are always so thrilled when I do!

Pulling out your own nature journal seems to be the best way to "teach" nature study. My kids always appreciated seeing me work on my journal too and sometimes I inspired them in one way or another. Often, THEY inspired ME.
Enjoy these summer days out in your yard.
