Model this for your child by noticing what you see, hear, and smell, then ask your child what they notice with their senses too. Engaging the senses in this way is so helpful for emotional regulation. It also teaches observation skills that are key to many fields of study, including science and art. Describing these observations out loud or in a journal helps with literacy skills too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1631587222081-SLTV2B6NSCU7Y2EQYTVL/IMG_20210528_121157_144.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - 5) Pack Nature Study Supplies My kids and I like to bring a nature journal, a small set of art supplies such as watercolor or colored pencils, and some pocket field guides. Journaling is such a great way to lend depth to nature study. A nature journal is a place to log exciting finds and draw or write down observations. It is nice to have a few simple art supplies like some colored pencils for adding detail to drawings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1646270589781-NIR5CFXER7RLKJH1ALKU/Nature+Journal+Colored+and+Not.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - Grab your Nature Journal Free PDF! I LOVE the FREE pocket nature journal that we have in our store. It is small, easy to use, and full of simple prompts to get kids started on their adventures. I find it so helpful not to have a bulky journal to carry along because I like keeping our bodies free and loose for natural movement play - navigating rocks and roots, climbing trees, and splashing in creeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1631588072508-KRQ6SLBHMBFYMHD1LV3R/PXL_20210322_175805552.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - 4) Dress for the Weather There's a Swedish saying, "there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!" If you want to spend more time in nature, dressing right will help a lot. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest, where all-season nature play is possible with good waterproof pants and jacket, warm under layers, and warm waterproof boots. In the summer, a hat helps a lot. Closed-toed shoes are best for rough terrain. Water shoes are helpful if a creek or stream might be a part of the trip. Prepare for messy clothes, a little dirt won’t hurt, but the benefits of sensory play are well worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/091aa96e-ebf3-44a9-9065-c0659f631165/_5+Tips+for+Nature+Study+Charlotte+Mason-Inspired2022.png Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1660777992017-BDKJ5R7S09EBNUQAA13Q/IMG_20200718_112452.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1631588498797-BXMT3H2TNB52L1SNI89S/PXL_20210825_221026103.PORTRAIT.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - 1) Keep Nature Study Simple Don't overwhelm the children with learning activities. Fostering enjoyment of the natural world is easy when the pressure of achieving a specific learning outcome is gone. Slow down, step back and let children lead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1631587162680-2VC90MVNN57XN2TU7O5L/PXL_20210914_014022790.jpg Blog - 5 Tips for Nature Study: Charlotte Mason-Inspired Secular Homeschool - 3) Pack Snacks and Water Thirsty kids with hungry bellies have trouble having fun and enjoying nature. Do what you can to keep kids happy and comfortable. A few favorites in my household are protein bars, jerky sticks, cheese sticks, fruit sauce pouches (especially those with veggies in them), yogurt pouches, mandarin oranges, and apples. Although I aim to reduce packaging waste in our home and generally eat fresh foods, I keep these packaged snacks on hand. It is easier to head out the door quickly, nothing requires a heavy cooler pack, and these foods are mess-free and low risk of dirty hands touching food. I also keep hand sanitizer in the snack pack. https://www.northstareducationalexplorations.com/blog/homeschool-book-of-the-week-the-secret-garden-of-george-washington-carver-a-science-biography monthly 0.5 2022-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1633100694132-U8LBD9KSWN3EXOBB7QII/IMG-4818.jpg Blog - “The Secret Garden of George Washington Carver” by Gene Barretta - Science Biography Book Review - “The Secret Garden of George Washington Carver” by Gene Barretta is a beautiful picture book following the life of this remarkable man from childhood through his greatest achievements.

There is mention of his Christian beliefs. Since we are secular homeschoolers, I took note that this is clearly framed as his belief, not a statement of fact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1633100960119-JHL0LIG5BCS85091L4VQ/IMG-4819.JPG Blog - “The Secret Garden of George Washington Carver” by Gene Barretta - Science Biography Book Review - Through this love and hard work, he developed a depth of knowledge others did not have.

Fresh air, sunlight, and physical activity are very regulating to our attention. Whether it's more an open-ended experience of nature or a more directed study of the flora and fauna around you, both can be a win-win for homeschooling with ADHD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070c11c8e738b3345e67ac5/1632319770952-DJ9VSL9VOCV9M5O9CONY/ADHD+routine+habit+linking.JPG Blog - How we Homeschool with ADHD - 2) Routine/Habit Linking It's much better than a strict schedule for us.
