In my homeschool, we implement nature study year-round. One of my favorite parts about this is learning to identify the plants, flowers, and trees we see around us. It has brought so much joy to our lives.
Recently, we have enjoyed spreading wildflower seeds on our property and learning to identify the names of the trees in the woods near our home. Learning to observe and name the parts of nature we see first in our backyard, and then in the other parts of the world around us, has been an exciting and meaningful part of my life.
In the summer, I especially love seeing the bright and colorful flowers that bloom around us. In this blog post, I am sharing some of the values behind my love for nature study, plus a fun sunflower dissection flower activity.
