Past Science Classes
HCECF's science classes and coops encourage the use of a Charlotte Mason inspired nature journal. Nature Journals are provided as part of the course materials in all of our HCECF Science Classes; additionally, nature walks are a frequent component of both our science classes and coops. Nature Journals are blank sketchbooks containing pictures the children have personally drawn of plants, wildlife or any other natural object found in its natural setting. These nature journals can also include nature inspired poems, prose, descriptions, weather conditions, seasonal changes, dates etc.
Nature journals are a great addition to your homeschool portfolio. Additional Nature Journals our available on our storefront page.
