This Makes Me Happy...Spring Walks



Yes, spring walks make me happy. Especially when they double as a learning experience. I will be the first to admit that Science is not my strongest subject. It wasn't when I was a student and it certainly isn't now that I am a teacher to my kiddos. Good thing I am a strong believer that all learning doesn't have to take place between the pages of a textbook! I am always happy when a chance walk leads to an exciting and lovely learning experience. And I am also happy when I remember to bring my camera along. It may seem simple, but spring walks make me happy. Here are a few pictures of our recent after lunch spring walk/science lesson. : )
























Oh...I just realized...I can count this for Phys. Ed. Too!!! : )
Happy spring, my friends!

  7. Wow -- it looks so pretty there! Love when you can combine science, PE + a nice walk and get some photos too! That's what I call multi-tasking! :) Enjoy!

  9. Hi Billie Jo~

    Oh my, Dandelions, my favorite flower! I love them, hubby hates them!

    I love that you teach your kids outside - that 's the perfect way to learn in my opinion! Very darling pics!

  10. Your home is BEAUTIFUL!!!
    If it makes you feel any better, I was homeschooled & my high school science was definitely lacking (not my mom's strongest area either ;) yet I was able to graduate from Nursing School with all A's & B's so textbook science is overrated in my opinion too!
