49. Connecting Idioms to Nature Study in the Homeschool
One thing I love about nature study is its ability to make connections across so many subjects. Without a far stretch, it’s easy to connect art, language arts, math, history, and geography. As a teacher, I’m always on the lookout for perfect opportunities to join two subjects. That’s what’s happening in the idiom nature study podcast.
