If we give our children regular opportunities to get in touch with God's creation, a habit is formed which will be a source of delight throughout their lives.
Last year we started using The Gentle Art of Learning, The Charlotte Mason
method. We started doing the Nature Study, keeping a Nature journal of God's little creatures and great creations.
This year we will be doing the same, except we will be doing much more of it than last year. Miss Bri and I started our Nature Journal today. We drew pictures of all the critters that are a nuicense in our very own garden. Miss Bri will add color to her notebook later.

I will be keeping a journal myself to do with the children in hopes that it will encourage the creative juices even further. Bri loves it when we are drawing together.

Morning has broken
like a river glorius
for the beauty of the earth
fairest Lord Jesus
His eye is on the Sparrow
all things bright and beautiful
joyful, joyful , we adore Thee
all creatures of our God and King.
