“A
s soon as a child is old enough, he should keep his own nature notebook for his enjoyment. Every day’s walk will give something interesting to add--three squirrels playing in a tree, a blue jay flying across a field, a caterpillar crawling up a bush, a snail eating a cabbage leaf, a spider suddenly dropping from a thread to the ground, where he found ivy and how it was growing and what plants were growing with it, and how ivy manages to climb.”
Charlotte Mason, Home Education in Modern English, volume 1 page 54
The Challenge: To fill a thirty page nature journal. I would like to encourage everyone to make journaling a habit and I know it takes a bit of work to get the habit going. Each should include some sort of illustration, either a sketch, a rubbing, or a photo. The illustration must be labeled with at least the date and the subject. If the child is too young to write, the parent can label the illustration. After you have your nature walk, provide an opportunity for working on a nature journal entry. 
If your child needs help, you can discussing the day’s activities and help him come up with a journal entry.
