Transforming Free Public Worksheets into Waldorf Inspired Lessons

January 18, 2017 by thebearthinstitute 1 Comment

How to Plan an Earthschooling Educational Excursion: Part Two All photos copyright Kristie Burns On our recent educational excursion (see part one here) we visited many wildlife preserves. One of the preserves, the Lee County Manatee Park, had a great website with a lot of “downloadable” educational documents. These documents were your typical “coloring sheet”, […]

Is There Something You Should Be Doing?

September 21, 2015 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Is there something you feel you “should” be doing? Why do you feel that way? Recently I was reminded of how important it is to ask that question. We have always left our backyard “natural” but made sure to cultivate and mow the front yard so the neighbors would not be upset. There are regulations in […]

Nature Walks in The Upper Grades

July 30, 2015 by thebearthinstitute 1 Comment

Clothing Unit for Third Grade and Under

May 6, 2015 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

I love to visit local farms as part of the kids’ education. It is a wonderful way to introduce them to the area they live in, their neighbors, another kind of life, and much more. It is also a way to teach them skills I may not have or to teach them skills I have, […]

Be a Citizen Scientist

December 1, 2014 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

There are so many ways to be a citizen scientist in our area. As an adult I love participating as a way to be outdoors, give back to the community, further my education in the sciences, and meet other people who are interested in nature. When my children were younger they loved helping with many of […]

Easter Field Trip: Wildlife Education

April 3, 2014 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

One of the ways we are celebrating spring is by doing a unit study on birth and the animal kingdom in general. We visited a goat farm last weekend and learned a lot about caring for baby goats. This week we visited the Iowa Reptile Rescue and cuddled with snakes and other reptiles. It is […]
