Now, Angela, HOW exactly do these go hand in hand? Well, I'll tell you, because that's what a blog is for right? heehee
Last week sometime my husband came into the house and said, "I think we have termites. I can "see" some tunneling behind the drywall (that had gotten very very thin) in the attached garage."
I thought, "Oh, that's bad. Those can be expensive."
He took a butter knife out to the garage and cut a strip away and, sure enough, a parade of them...lovely.
We ( I really mean he) called around to different companies to find out information and the Terminix guy won our business. They came out yesterday to treat our house. Since it was going to be an all day job I took the kids to Victoria Bryant State Park and we did some nature journaling. It was SO fun. I have never done that before but I had recently read about it on a couple of blogs.
They each got their own notebooks and we walked around and they drew what they saw. Then we wrote (we as in me and Judah and sometimes Thomas) the names next to the pics.
The best part- it was SCHOOL!!!!
Drawing-Art
Writing- Language Arts
We watched a duck and a goose on the lake for quite awhile. We talked about how the duck eats, how he sleeps, how God made his feathers NOT to soak up water. We talked about the basic differences btwn the duck and the goose.- SCIENCE
We played on the playground.- recess
We ate lunch on the big rocks next to the creek.- lunch
We saw HUNDREDS of little tadpoles in the pools of water in the rocks- SO CUTE and they boys LOVED that! We talked about how they change into little frogs. - Science again.
We went for a short hike in the woods to do more journaling but since we didn't bring the journals there we had to remember all of them- working on memory definitely counts as school-heehee
Here is what the boys wrote down- Rock, water, tree, duck, goose, squirrel, tadpole, waterbug, ants, leaves, bird, flower, nut, lizard.
It was a fun time. We were EXHAUSTED after being in the sun and on our feet for three hours, but we had a great hands on learning day and we got away from the chemicals while the exterminator was working his magic.
We will definitely do the nature journaling thing again. I need to brush up on my drawing skills however. The boys don't like to draw things they can't do nicely so I ended up drawing way too many ugly looking animals. :):):) I'm definitely sparing you the pics here. :)
Today is a normal school day - Math and Language Arts - with a fun little science lesson about dry ice thrown in. Michael ordered some meat that came packed in dry ice. Making fog is FUN!!!
Gotta go! Blessings everyone!!- Angela :)

sounds like you had an eventful little hike.
nature journaling is one of my favorite school activities. we just did an entry on cankerworms the other day. it's the only time i can really motivate caleb to draw.
glad you had such a nice day.:)it's great to be able to take "school" anywhere.
Sorry about the termites, but glad you and the boys had a good day.
Ugh, bugs in the house are such a pain! When we moved here we had carpenter ants that didn't show on the pest inspection, so I know what you are going through! Hope things get better soon - and what a fun time at the park!!
Did you use any kind of field guide that you liked? Sienna and I will do Biology next and with 'nature journaling' in mind, I am wondering about some good types of field guides. Well it sounds like you guys had such a nice day. You have inspired me to get out of the house one home school day and have some 'informal' learning experiences. Hope the termites leave.
Bye,
Ash
Oh, post the pics!!
It sounds just great! You ARE a fun mom, aren't you? :)
Ashley,
No, I didn't use a field journal. Since the boys are just almost 5 and 6 I just wanted to see what THEY would notice. I also wanted them to practice drawing. They really don't like to draw.
Sienna would prob like the whole field journal thing. :)
April- no way on the pics! Sorry. :)
