Nature Walk - February

This week the kids had a couple days off school, so we got outside for our February Nature Walk, learning more from our book and workbook, "The Nature Connection".  It was a beautiful day, clear skies and sunny...perfect, except for all the brown color everywhere...can't wait for some spring green!
Immediately they spotted the small creek...and soft cat-tails...

With increasing daylight hours this time of year, we looked for signs of animals that would be out and about,  and for things to collect.  I asked, "What do you hear?" "birds singing, cars (we were in a park), hammering noises..." Not much, but good to ask, I am hoping they will continue to stop and listen to what is around them in nature...

Tovrea recorded what he saw...some ducks in the pond, some duck tracks in the sand, and some other tracks he decided must have been deer.  He drew them in the journal while the other two walked around together...

 

Then it was time to head back...CoCo and Quin lead the way together...

It was a nice morning, we had fun together.  To see more photos like this next one click on the read more link below.
