Nature School Companion Jr. Nature Notebook Set

Navigating a Nature Study or Unit Study can seem out of your wheelhouse, but being equipped can make this option of science study easier to facilitate and manageable. By using Nature School (026978) as a spine resource alongside skill appropriate notebook companions, your exploration and observation of nature is provided structure and guidance. There are two notebooking options, one for young students (K-3) and one for older elementary students (3-8). The Science Through Nature Notebook Companions provide student work for the beautifully illustrated Nature School guidebook like questions, sketching, and coloring. Intended to be self-paced through 5 of the major biomes, the guide utilizes hands-on activities, experiments, and practical ways to use the knowledge kids are naturally acquiring. This is not a program that needs to be used cover to cover, it can be interest-led, unit study focused, or based on students’ abilities. For those who need the structure of a scope and sequence there is a Lesson Plan sample to follow. The guidebook on its own is a wonderful resource and adds simple activities at the end of each unit. For those who are looking for a fuller and put together nature study, adding the appropriate notebook alongside your readings in Nature School will make a winning combination. ~Rebecca
