One of the great joys my wife and I have is homeschooling our children! We are so very blessed to have this opportunity to invest in the education of our boys and to give them a strong God-centered Worldview as a foundation. There is also the fact that we get to do neat activities that reinforce what they are learning. Such an activity, like that of a nature journal, allows them to be hands-on with the nature they are studying in books, and gives them a greater appreciation for God's creation. They have recently been studying about the century plant and thought they had found one in the wooded creek bed behind our house:
While I don't think we have century plants in our part of Oklahoma, it certainly has similar features, and was a good find by an eight and six year old. Shows they are paying attention!
Here is Joshua (8) drawing a picture of it and noting it in his nature journal:
While out exploring, I came across an ol' timey harrow that has long been abandoned in the wheat field behind us. One of it's blades was off, so I took the opportunity to take a couple of photos:
What an adventure to be a homeschool family!!!
