Here is a peek at what nature study looks like in my homeschool. With children ages 4, 6, 9, and 11, I believe it is important that children first learn about nature in their world through the plants, animals, and trees where they live. This is a special practice to me, and something we have developed over the years.

In our new home we are so excited to have a fully dedicated homeschool space. In this blog post I am sharing a walkthrough and tour of our homeschool room, including how we set up the space for lessons, storage, and more. I hope this post gives you ideas and inspiration for homeschooling in any space in your home.

In my homeschool, we love participating in co-ops and small groups. Over the years we have enjoyed nature co-ops, learning in small groups, book clubs, and other extracurricular activities. These are my best ideas for adding social groups to your homeschool rhythm, including using homeschool curriculum with a group.
