Is Nature Study a Regular Part of Your Homeschool?
Many homeschool families participated in The Great Backyard Bird Count this past weekend as part of their nature study. Nature study is a regular activity for many families, while for others it is a seasonal or occasional part of homeschooling. What about your family?
Motivation Monday
“The mission of the home extends beyond its own members. The Christian home is to be an object lesson, illustrating the excellence of the true principles of life…. Far more powerful than any sermon that can be preached is the influence of a true home upon human hearts and lives. As the youth go out from such a home, the lessons they have learned are imparted. Nobler principles of life are introduced into other households, and an uplifting influence works in the community.”
