We meet every Friday with a primary focus of exploring and studying God’s beautiful natural world. Second Fridays we meet at a member’s home for mama’s book discussion while the children play. Our Friday meet-ups this year will include: naturalist-led programs, history field trips, seasonal recitation/celebration events, nature special studies and object lessons, sharing of nature discoveries or nature journal entries, and opportunities to take turns narrating in a group.
We have scheduled our meetings in homes/backyards up until mid-February to offer warmth for little ones and others who need it during the coldest weeks of winter.
We are currently discussing Volume 2: Parents and Children
