Loving Nature Study - Cindy West, Part 1

Cindy West is back on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast with Yvette Hampton to discuss the benefits and joys of nature studies. In this episode we discuss why Cindy says "nature study IS science," how nature study impacts children, how to do nature study with multiple ages and what to do if a child (or a parent) doesn't love taking nature walks and nature journaling?
