US Grade 2 - 5
The aim for this ongoing class is to awaken a sense of excitement, joy and discovery of the natural world. It is based on my ongoing Charlotte Mason Nature class. We begin class with a time of sharing what each learner has observed in their outdoor adventures. Learners will use their powers of observation (by way of photo and video) to learn about some of the world's oddest animals: Day 1: Seahorses Day 2: Penguins Day 3: Sharks Day 4: Squid vs Octopus I will ask questions to hone their skill and give additional information. Student will then make a nature notebook entry. Students are encouraged to get outside each day and bring to class objects or pictures of anything they find interesting. Even in the busiest of cities nature can be observed. On the last day of class we will review all we have learned with a fun Kahoot! quiz.
