this is real knowledge

I was reading a portion of the chapter assigned for tomorrow's moms get together..
Little did I know that I really do share this same thought.. and always have, but.. haven't always put it into practice every day.. the days that I do, I am so glad..
I was encouraged... inspired ~ and really motivated to do exactly this.. So, I must share this and a picture or 2..  Be inspired too!




"(c) That the child should be taken daily, if possible, to scenes––moor or meadow, park, common, or shore––where he may find new things to examine, and so add to his store of real knowledge. That the child's observation should be directed to flower or boulder, bird or tree; that, in fact, he should be employed in gathering the common information which is the basis of scientific knowledge."
