I dabble a little in Charlotte Mason philosophy. I am drawn to her inclusion of nature, observing and learning from it. The value in exposing your children to the very best of life and literature. Education is an atmosphere and a life. That within each child is opinions, thoughts and knowledge with great value and cherished, they are persons.
One of the activities part of the Charlotte Mason approach is nature notebooking. My children have all enjoyed nature notebooking in the past (when I think to bring it out!). We have been hiking 3-4 times a week lately, seeing amazing things. On their own the kids got out their nature notebook(which we haven't used in a very long time) and sketched buds off trees in the backyard, the toad we caught, the sparrows in our bird house, the leaves on our willow tree.
