“As a new to homeschool parent, I love this nature journal. I have 2 kids, and I can easily use these books for both ages. The educator’s handbook can also be used more than once when my children are ready for the next grade level. I appreciate that it is very easy to follow as a parent without a teaching background. I notice, not only are they learning about science, nature, and critical thinking, they are also being creative. Adding a bit of art to each lesson. Perfect for all types a of learners. I am very excited to continue this journey. Thank you!”
