Doing school outside while studying Apologia Botany & Mystery of History!

I love fall weather! One of the things I enjoy is doing school outside. We finish our language arts & math inside and after lunch we go outside to do Science & History. My daughter who is reading the current read out loud also enjoys reading outside under a tree. That is another bonus of the work boxes. We can pull our workbox drawers out and take them outside with us.

Since we live in the north we are following the recommended northern schedule.So we went from lesson 2 seeds to lesson 6 leaves so we can studying them before the fall next month.

There is nothing better than to be surrounded by God's creation that we are studying compared to being inside working at a desk! As we were learning the benefits plants give us we were able to be grateful  that we are surrounded by His creation. After our lesson we also discussed how people are beginning to use artificial lawns or painting their lawns so it looks nice. What a sad thing to do to God's creation that was created to benefit us. We were thankful that He has blessed us with a yard full of trees and plants.
 I love to be in God's creation ! If you get a chance to go outside for  your classroom go for it. There is nothing like being surrounded by what you are studying while breathing in that fresh filtered and oxygen rich air from the plants He created!
