Nature Class

Nora Lee has just started a nature class with several other homeschooling families. The class takes place at Topanga State park in the forest. It's a stunning place with fresh air, lots of trees and plenty of happy deer running around. The kids hike and study plants, animals, cycles of the earth, edible plants and much more.

This week they learned about time and different calendars and how humans have kept track of time in different ways throughout history. They made Native American "moon sticks" and will mark the stick each time there is a full moon to track the passing of one year.
