Nature Observation Journal

This year our class is keeping a "Nature Observation Journal" for each season.  It has been very enjoyable!  For the fall journal I did the writing and they watched, but for the winter journal they will do the writing.  It has taught them to be more observant of their surroundings at the lake and at school they are noticing animals, plants and the weather in their area.  It also teaches them reading and writing skills as well as telling time.
