Barb, I love your work. My last homeschooler is soon to leave the nest, and the grands aren’t ready for me, yet, but I planned a whole nature study component for my behavioral health classroom, using your studies. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them more than I can say. I wish you the best in your nature study in whatever form it is in the future.
