Birds, Nests, and Eggs (Take Along Guides)

This week we read about the Chickadee in the Burgess Bird Book for Children, listened to its song, watched a video of it in flight, then enjoyed a little fellow on our bird bath outside the kitchen window.

Each of my girls keeps a nature notebook to chronicle our bird studies, ala Burgess.
I am crazy thankful for the gift of home schooling these children and witnessing their amazing growth and learning and wonder. So very thankful.
