Thank you for making this video exemplifying how to use your curriculum at different levels. I love how your youngest was in her princess dress the whole time - typical homeschool! Do you repeat your nature study each year?
Agreed with others, it was so helpful and nice to see Nature Study and homeschooling in action! This is such a wonderful part of a complete education! I'd like to homeschool my 4 yo girl. She goes to a very good daycare now while I work and take care of medical issues, but our family is in a position for me to homeschool her when she turns 6. Can you provide advice through videos and/or blog posts about getting spouses fully on board? My husband is not categorically against homeschooling, but isn't entirely convinced. The grandparents don't know anything about my intentions, and are operating on the assumption that she'll go to public school. I know it's the parents' decision, and in America we're very independent. Native born Americans will tell us to ignore the grandparents entirely. While I'm firm in my decision that homeschooling and Nature Study are the best for our child, we immigrated here and extended family opinions are something we'll need to deal with. One cannot ignore the opinions of family entirely and also expect them to be part of your childcare "village". This is the major shortcoming of the standard American advice. While I personally care less about the negative family judgement than my husband, it will be there. Any advice?
It’s great that you’re thinking ahead about homeschooling! It can be hard balancing family opinions, especially when homeschooling is new to them. Involving your spouse in research and showing the benefits of homeschooling and Nature Study can help him feel more confident. Sharing positive stories or resources with grandparents might also ease concerns, showing them it’s not about isolation but creating a rich, flexible education. Ultimately, it’s a decision for you both, but involving family thoughtfully can make the journey smoother. 💛
Loved this video! One of the things that keeps us from going in the woods more often is the ticks! Since your kids play in there a lot do you use something each day on them to keep ticks away or ticks are just part of the package?
We love TS nature study! Thank you for making this video to give insight into how you do your lesson. ❤ Also, this Seek app is far better than what I was using so thank you for that recommendation as well!
You’re so blessed with a beautiful forest! We are building on a lot that has no trees (not many in North Dakota. Hopefully we can find areas that are gorgeous and fun to explore in without the use of a screen.
Is the text book book being read at 4:20 part of the nature study? Or is that a supplementary book? Just trying to get an idea. I wish I had learned this as a kid and would love to learn alongside my kiddos one day soon!
That is a supplementary book :) Here is the link to the nature study: treehouseschoolhouse.com/collections/autumn/products/treehouse-nature-study-autumn
If it’s not in the budget to purchase both levels of the nature study, which do you recommend going with? I have a 10 year old and a 3.5 year old. This is our first year homeschooling so these kind of studies will be new to all of us!
Thank you for sharing! I love how simple and effortless you make it look. I'm sure it's not though. My kids love nature. I may have to get the nature study. Curious, but I noticed 2 of your kids with hearing aids. I have a daughter with a hearing aid and cochlear implant (as of March) as well! Do you know what caused it? Is it genetic? Curious because of my personal experience with it.

Just lovely. Curiously, how many hours did this portion of your study take?

Oh my goodness your youngest reminds me of my youngest, she always has to have a princess dress on 😊

Yes, it's so fun to go out and go exploring in new places!

@ does the nature study include a list of supplemental books?
forgive me if this is already answered somewhere but where is this book stand from?

I would go with the primary!
@@TreehouseSchoolhouse thank you for the reply! 🤍
