Homeschoolers are willing to jump on board if we are given clear instructions. I think this year I heard more about the Great Backyard Bird Count in homeschooling circles than I ever have. It just takes time and easy to use websites to get us motivated.

Let us know if you here of any specifics on the lepidopteran project.

I love your last quote, reminds me of my Green Hour Challenges.

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing your info you got from the conference. I wish I could have been there! I love Helen, GA and think it would have been the perfect spot to learn this information. (I also love all the hiking opportunities there.)

Helen is a great place for conference like that. I hope you continue to post about the conference in coming weeks. I see you submited to the ed. carnival....there's another one called a teacher's life that focuses on lesson plan types of things in case you weren't aware.

The outdoors is the perfect place to give our students the hands-on opportunties they need at every level from K-12.
