| One such field trip was to a local nature center. In the above photo, we discussed insects and their stages of life while dressing up as butterflies. |
 |
| Another project we did was making Alaskan Indian masks while studying history and geography. That’s Ben behind the mask, by the way. J |
 |
| We studied ornithology by setting out foods to attract specific birds. We had a summer filled with watching Baltimore Orioles feast on oranges on our deck. |
 |
| We learned about bees and keeping hives by visiting a bee-keeping farm. We were able to get very close up and see how a bee hive works. |
*What is one of your favorite memories of your early education? Are there any field trips or projects that stick out in your mind? Please share them in the comments!*
One of my best memories is that my Mom didn't buy me a math book until I was in third grade. I didn't want to do "workbook" math, so we did hands-on math.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good memory, Amy! :-) I only did a few math workbooks in elementary school. I didn't start formal math (Saxon) until 4th grade. I'm very excited to be almost finished with my formal math books!
