Woohoo for nature and animal lovers!

This week the Erskines are offering a great free set of ebooks all homeschoolers, students, and all nature lovers alike will love to have in their library: the several editions of: "THE BIG HANDBOOK OF NATURE STUDY"

Make sure to go down the page and download all the books from the series this week while you can! We did and we're very happy about them. :) Thanks again Erskines!

PART I – TEACHER'S GUIDE & OVERVIEW (PDF ebook) – In PART ONE, you get a very helpful and practical teacher's guide, including an overview of the purpose, scope and style of the handbook… how each lesson is set up… what nature study should do for your children… how to to tie math, art, geography, gardening, agriculture & science into your nature study, and more. Each lesson begins with a "teacher's story" which can be read to students along with suggested activities & methods, followed by great discussion questions.

PART II – BIRDS & FISH (PDF ebook) – In PART TWO, we jump into the actual lessons, this time devoted to birds & fish. As you'll quickly see, these lessons are wonderfully written, blending history, humor, a bit of poetry, and a delightful sense of wonder into these nature studies.

THE BIG HANDBOOK OF NATURE STUDY, part III

In this section of the book, we study toads, frogs, snakes, lizards & turtles … and then practically every fuzzy animal you can think of that lives on farm or forest.

Again, each study begins with a great Teacher's talk, and includes activities and discussion questions. Be sure to download all of these and keep in your permanent homeschool library. This is a keeper that you'll use many time throughout your homeschooling years!

In Part IV of THE BIG HANDBOOK OF NATURE STUDY – INSECTS & INVERTEBRATES we focus on all the creepy-crawlies of life around us: flies, ants, butterflies, grasshoppers, bees, spiders, snails, worms, and more. "Oooooo!" "Ahhhhh!" "Eeeekk! Get it away from me!"

Again, each study begins with a great Teacher's talk, and includes activities and discussion questions. Be sure to download all of these and keep in your permanent homeschool library. This is a keeper that you'll use many time throughout your homeschooling years!
