Hunter Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 A Field Guide to the Familar starts with the first frost and indian summer. I just pulled out my copy to restart. AGAIN! :lol: This is a really easy book to teach and self-educate with. http://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Familiar-Learning-Observe/dp/0874518652 I stink at identification, and am contantly on the look out for lessons that are not based on successful identification. If you also HATE identification, another alternative resource is the detective worksheets in Considering God's Creation. Students can learn to use descriptive vocabulary instead of naming the organism. http://www.thecurriculumchoice.com/2010/03/considering-gods-creation-curriculum-review/ And to just get outdoors in general, I like 15 Minutes Outdoors http://www.amazon.com/Fifteen-Minutes-Outside-Connect-ebook/dp/B004NNVI2Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=146NCUAVC06A8&coliid=I391E2RJHG0TXU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility7 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Wow, love the looks of Field Guide to the Familiar - just ordered it! Thanks for sharing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I wish it was a bit cheaper. I put it back on the shelf like 5 times, before I just sighed and bought it. A month later I was still glad I bought it, but I remember the day I bought it, being very indecisive about the price for a typical nonfiction sized paperback. Three years later I still like it, and don't see any need for it to be longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to getting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I saw my copy at an arboretum gift shop at full retail price, right in the fall, when I was clean out of ideas to spend more time outdoors. It was a nippy day soon after the first killing frost and I was hooked at chapter 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
