September introduced the start of a new season, one that brings color changing leaves and a cooler breeze. Unless you live in Southern California of course, where it's still pretty much summer here with the blazing heat from the sun and the raging forest fires.
September also marks back-to-school season or, in Jayce's case, would have been the start-of-school season. Our hope was to have him enrolled in pre-school by now but with Covid still going strong, we felt it best to keep him at home. I committed to "homeschooling" him as best I can and even spent hours diligently researching different teaching styles like Montessori, Waldorf, Charlotte Mason, etc. Then I realized that I'm putting way too much pressure on myself and that I should just have more fun with it and pick and choose aspects from each that I like. So we decided on sticking to a different theme each month and base his learning and activities around the chosen theme. For September, we chose The Forest.
If you're looking for forest activities and books for your little one, then you’ve come to the right place!
