NOTE THE NEW LOCATION FOR THE CALENDAR OF FIRSTS!
CALENDAR OF FIRSTS
CALENDAR OF FIRSTS
Saturday,
March 30, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at the playground near the train depot at Steele Creek Park in Bristol. We'll make a calendar in which to record nature "firsts"
each year. Bring a composition notebook (or any type you prefer) or $1
to cover the cost of supplies. We can explore a nearby trail afterwards
looking for calendar additions.
It is a capital plan for the children to keep a
calendar––the first oak-leaf, the first tadpole, the first cowslip, the
first catkin, the first ripe blackberries, where seen, and when. The
next year they will know when and where to look out for their
favourites, and will, every year, be in a condition to add new
observations. Think of the zest and interest, the object, which
such a practice will give to daily walks and little excursions. Charlotte Mason, Vol. 1 p. 54
