Science

I have read many books on Charlotte Mason's method of using nature studies. I love her belief in filling a child's day with living books and nature notebooks. Below, my youngest daughter's passion for nature is displayed. She loves all sorts of animals. We are using Apologia's Zoology series and she loves them!


Leanne has completed her first lapbook! Lessons 1 through 6 of Apologia's Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day. We purchased the templates from one of my favorite sites Knowledge Box Central. She really enjoyed putting this lapbook together, so much so, that we will be using Cindy's templates for the remaining lessons in this zoology series.
After completing Lessons 1 through 6 and her lapbook, Leanne did some research on parakeets. She put together a proposal for her Dad and I on how she could purchase and care for a parakeet on her own. She also sketched what her parakeet would look like. She did a great job! So....
meet KeKe, Leanne's new parakeet!! She is hoping to help her Dad wash the car tomorrow in hopes of earning some extra cash to purchase KeKe a friend!
I swear this child will grow up and become a Veterinarian. Keke is her third pet...there is Frosty our Bichon and Flapjack her turtle! What next?
