(We usually focused on alphabet or number books) This is a super idea - thank you!

I clicked on this idea since I homeschool and I really am glad that I did. I love this idea. I have a 9 year old who would love this idea at this level, but how can I adapt this for my almost 13 year old, where she will be just as interested, the work is more challenging, and she won't think it's elementary? Thanks for any advice you might have. Email me. I might forget to check back for a couple of days, though I plan to stop at your blog site again.

We keep nature journals, but I have wanted to find an organized way for them to save actual specimens and have their own nature collections. This is perfect. I'd love to be in your drawing!

We're trying to do a unit on plant life and its slow going. So I think I'll skip it and go to something she likes. :( This sounds wonderful; but unfortunately Tink isnt interested in learning about plants.
