Look Inside: Exploring Nature with Children

[@magickaldust1213]

Binding them separately by season is honestly genius

[@LindseyRebecca24]

This is the most helpful review of this curriculum that I've found in my many searches this week. Thank you so much for this level of detail and your honesty! I was sincerely on the fence Cuz "I'm not good at this" & I'm buying it because of this video. Thanks again!

[@awallacedoula]

Same.

[@knowledgebynature8480]

Thank you for this flip-through! I ended up ordering this for our upcoming school year, love how simplistic it makes nature study.

[@nancystevens8475]

Thank you so much for this review! After watching your video this curriculum made so much more sense to me as compared to seeing bits of it on the website. I wish I had bought this sooner because our whole family is enjoying it!

[@melodychan6844]

I am buying and binding them into separate seasons because of your video! Hope it works out with my little girl and with us living near San Francisco (not a whole lot of nature where we are)

[@TheWaldockWay]

I hope so too!

[@katelyse]

Thanks for the link to the Facebook group for the printables of the art! I’m like you- terrible about nature study. This video convinced me to purchase it! I think I learned more about nature from the preview sample on the site than I have in two years!! 🤪

[@TheWaldockWay]

I love that I can use it and not be good at nature.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Oooh, I have to go look this up! Thanks mama!

[@TheWaldockWay]

Yes! It's wonderful!

[@shanekahowellmivida9812]

Thank you so much for sharing! I will be purchasing this for our son! ✨💗

[@gracedwithgirls1736]

New subscriber here and homeschooling mom of 4 girls! Thanks for the review! We are just getting into nature journaling and this looks perfect for someone like me who has no idea where to start!

[@TheWaldockWay]

Thanks for subbing!

[@BlayneBurke]

I really need to get a good printer and a binding machine!! We are loving this curriculum which we are doing with a large group of other homeschoolers each week! It’s great!

[@TheWaldockWay]

I love my HP Instant Ink & Proclick 😍

[@GraceFilled]

Thank you I was thinking about getting this! I am trying to increase our nature study!

[@TheWaldockWay]

This is a GREAT way to do that!

[@missynelson8481]

Keep these amazing videos coming!!!

[@TheWaldockWay]

Thank you! I will definitely try!

[@courtesycake]

Very informative, thank you! I love all the helpful ideas!

[@boybossmamahomeschool]

I like that you separated in seasons ! I was thinking to do something similar because it’s too thick ... I have this beauty of a book and haven’t printed it yet. I’m thinking to try to incorporate this in spring next year. It’s awesome !! ☺️💛 TFS!

[@TheWaldockWay]

You can start it anytime which is another thing I love. Just jump in when you're ready.

[@mr.pumpkin7305]

Got it! Thank you!

[@innervationkidz2315]

Love this video

[@thisbibliophagist]

It’s difficult to actually see what you’re pointing at in the book since it’s zoomed out so far. Sounds like it’s just what I need! I suck at nature study myself.

[@simplykaley4540]

How did you add Summer, Spring, etc on the bottom of the cover?

[@TheWaldockWay]

She offers free season downloads on her site. But I didn't know that when I made mine so I just wrote it on the bottom of each with a black marker.

[@simplykaley4540]

The Waldock Way thanks so much! Printing now :)

[@simplykaley4540]

The Waldock Way one more question... did you laminate your cover photo? I printed the cover on card stock but debating on laminating

[@TheWaldockWay]

I always print covers on cardstock and laminate for durability.

[@TheLadyAli]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I've been having a hard time with Nature study lately and you have convinced me to get this! I purchased it tonight and printing it now. I love how you've broken it down into seasons. I was wondering how did you make the covers for yours?

[@TheWaldockWay]

There are actually season covers on the website for free.

[@Rufus1531]

Is there any where else I can easily get the artwork to print as I have requested to join the Facebook group weeks ago but haven't heard back from anyone.

[@awallacedoula]

Jessica, I'm having trouble finding the file on the FB page with the art pictures.

[@TheWaldockWay]

I believe that they have now removed them because of copyright laws.

[@GreaterisHEthatisinme]

Are all of those art pieces in one file on the facebook group? What was the name of it? There are lots of files on there!

[@vandek37]

how did you print them off and get them bound? Staples?

[@TheWaldockWay]

I print and bind everything myself using HP Instant Ink and Proclick.

[@chelseasanderson1467]

Thanks! Where can I find those seasonal covers? Not seeing them in the facebook group.

[@TheWaldockWay]

I think she offers them free as a download now with the curriculum.

[@mardalesfamily]

Hi!, I am about to buy this but I was wondering, is there a good month to start this?

[@TheWaldockWay]

You really can jump in anywhere, that's the beauty of it!

[@hcmrvs]

We are a secular homeschool and another family mentioned Bible references in this curriculum? Wondering exactly how it's written and worded? I've come across some Christen base curriculum that I felt just wouldn't fit in our home. At the same time this was definitely at the top of my first grade picks for the new year as I love how it's laid out and looks easy to follow. Curious now as to what this other family meant however...

[@TheWaldockWay]

It is MOSTLY secular. There are I believe 3 weeks such as Christmas Plants week that reference bible verses. But it could EASILY be skipped and done in a secular home.

[@hcmrvs]

@@TheWaldockWay that's perfect! That's been one at the top of my list to try for our first grade year. Thank you Jessica for the feedback 😊 Ninja week looked like a total blast for Miss Emily 💚 Looking forward to seeing the Harry Potter themed unit brought to life with your creative mind. 😍😍

[@priscillashaw5715]

Does she just refer to the hand book of nature study? What ages is this for?

[@TheWaldockWay]

She refers to the page numbers in it as well as suggests other books. I feel like it is for ALL ages!

[@suzannecampbell9530]

What you printed and bound is just for you correct? Or do your kiddos each have one as well?? I ordered it and want to see how I best set this up. I also got the journal

[@TheWaldockWay]

This is just for me.

[@mr.pumpkin7305]

Where can I purchase these books? Thank you!

[@JustKristie4]

Thank you for this review. Do we need to buy a journal for the kids in addition to this? I’m a bit confused as we’ve never done nature studies. Thank you 😊

[@TheWaldockWay]

I would keep one but a no pressure one.

[@rachaelseddon2159]

What age is it suitable for pls?

[@TheWaldockWay]

Preschool through Highschool.

[@laurel8576]

What binder and printer do you use?

[@TheWaldockWay]

I use a ProClick Binder and a HP Printer. You can see the specifics ones here: www.thewaldockway.com/2018/12/19/my-5-homeschool-mama-must-haves/

[@TheBraveHomeschoolingMama]

Could this be done with a 12 year old or is it for younger kids?

[@TheWaldockWay]

Absolutely! It is a nature study aimed at all ages and geographical locations. I plan to use it multiple years as well.

[@caracarder241]

Sadly the group must have taken down the art pdf. :(

[@FastEddiesmom]

Thank you for your reviews. I am wondering how well this program would work for my family because we live in Central Florida. Our flora and fauna don't always follow the same patterns as much of N America. Do you think this may be an issue or would it adapt well regardless of region?

[@TheWaldockWay]

We live in Florida too, some of it we could not "see" so we just studied it in books and talked about it. It still worked well.

[@FastEddiesmom]

@@TheWaldockWay Thank you!
