Hello, we too are homeschooling...my boys are 7 and 4! This was my first year learning about the beautiful things that CM suggests for studies, and Nature Journaling was something I was NOT looking forward to. However, as we struggled along and learned and grew, we noticed so much more when we took the time to sketch -- and I love being impressed by nature. These journals were gorgeous and inspirational...I really liked the encouragement to add a bit of the story to the sketch. And I felt a need for "professional development" for myself, so this is the course I picked, to learn and notice and delight; I have a feeling it will be contagious and my boys will end up coming along on this too! I wonder when you started this course and how it has gone since?
