Join For the Love of Homeschooling and the Nature Study Club this October, as our explorers enjoy studying farming, harvest, and food preservation.

The October Nature Study Club: Fall Harvest, will inspire and encourage the exploration of nature and all of its uses to our day to day life. In this study, explorers will enjoy daily units and activities, including:

• Apples, Pumpkins, and corn, Oh my!: Discover each crop's life cycle, and how they are harvested and preserved.

• Farm Equipment: Create a lift a flap tractor and learn more about large farm equipment like tractors and combines!

• Canning: Have you ever tried canning food? We have some simple recipes included to help you learn how to!

• Dried vs. Fresh Herbs: Explore how herbs differ in flavor based on how they are preserved and used.

• Gemstone Corn: Check out this month’s group art project, where you will make brilliantly colorful maize to celebrate the harvest! 

• Winter Bulbs and crops: Learn how winter bulbs and crops are planted and grown during the coldest months of the year! 

• Garden Hoop STEM: Discover why making garden hoops is better for your winter crops than using a plain cover! 

• And even more!   

Our Nature Study Club explorers may be discovering the harvest in their own pantry, observing the harvest at a local pumpkin patch, or simply soaking in the beauty of their own backyards, and each and every exploration is enthusiastically encouraged by our club. The Nature Study Club is committed to the belief that these exploration opportunities are all equally wonderful for the learning and growth of our children. This October study is another example of our desire to get our children out into their natural environment to grow their excited, exploring hearts and discover the nature around us!
