Handbook of Nature Study Newsletter
October 2016 – Weather – Keeping Records
Please read the following explanation outlining how to get this month’s newsletter.
The newsletter link is not in this email but will come separately. There may be a delay in your receiving the email so please don’t email me until the second day of the month if you haven’t received the link on the first. For some reason, some email providers take longer to receive the newsletter email.
If you don’t receive the separate email with the download link, you probably aren’t subscribed to the blog yet. This will take less than a minute to do if you follow the steps below.
If you are a subscriber and you haven’t received your newsletter email yet, check your SPAM inbox. Some subscribers have found the email buried in SPAM inbox.
If you need to subscribe:
- You will need to go to the Handbook of Nature Study, look to the top right corner for the box to type in your preferred email address, and then confirm the email that comes to your email inbox.
- Once you subscribe, you will receive a thank you email from me with the download link for the current month’s newsletter.
This month’s newsletter link will be available only during the month of September so be sure to download it before 10/31/16.
Remember! All of the archived and current newsletters are available as part of the Ultimate Naturalist Library…every level!
Contents of this edition of the newsletter include:
- Three weather and calendar related articles, two from contributors! (Shirley-Ann Vels and Lynn Seddon). My article includes a printable nature journal topper to get you started.
- October planning page with this month’s Outdoor Hour Challenge links, nature journal ideas, field trip ideas, and more.
- I have included an archive challenge: Outdoor Hour Challenge #10- Picnic. Use the ideas for some autumn outdoor time.
- As always, some of my favorite links and some show and tell from my Instagram followers.
Resources for your Nature Library: I have started to build a nature library store on Amazon that will feature by category my favorite nature study books and resources. Take a look and see if there is anything you would like to put on your wish list for your family’s nature study library: Handbook of Nature Study Nature Library Suggestions on Amazon.com. Note this is my affiliate store to items I personally recommend and have read or seen in person.
Please note that Ultimate Naturalist and Journey level members have access to members only printables each month in addition to the newsletter printables. You will need to log into your account and then go to the “Other Releases” section.
Please click over and read the step by step instructions for using the Handbook of Nature Study and the Outdoor Hour Challenge in your nature study plans starting in September. Let me know if you have any questions.
As a parent, it is our responsibility and privilege to introduce the natural world to our children.
I cannot afford to purchase a membership in the Library. Can I just purchase the one e-book to use?
I don’t sell single ebooks anymore. The good thing about the OHC is that every challenge is right here one the blog. The challenges in the ebooks are the same challenges. You will just need to create your own follow up nature journal pages instead of using the notebook pages that come in the book. I hope you use the links to the archives and subscribe to the newsletter to get the most out of everything free here on the Handbook of Nature Study.
I’ve downloaded this month’s newsletter but the links don’t do anything. What am I doing wrong?
I haven’t heard from anyone else that the links aren’t working so I’m not sure what is happening for you. I just pulled my copy up and they seem to be working properly. I wish I could be more help.
