more science thoughts

So now I'm going to attempt to organize my thoughts about next year.  Today is science.  For Z we'll be doing the Burgess Animal Book for the first two-thirds of the year, and Holling C. Holling's Pagoo for the last part (according to AO).  Along with Burgess we'll be coloring in Peterson's Color-in Mammals book.  And I'm not sure what we'll do along with Pagoo.  Maybe just some field trips.  For L we'll be reading Christian Liberty Nature Reader K, which focuses on one animal for each letter of the alphabet.  And I think I'm going to get him an animal sticker book to go along with it.  Additionally we'll be taking nature walks once a week, hopefully even in bad weather (except maybe we'll stay closer to home), and I'm thinking along with that we may do the Outdoor Hour Challenge to give our nature studies some direction.  I think we'll also check out an outdoor experiment or activity type of book from the library to add in some scientific method type stuff.  So generally that would be two days/week of science, one day for nature study, and one day for animal study.  Then at other times we'll supplement with some books and activities that we have.
