Okay, I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and we're new to the Outdoor Hour Challenges. As a matter of fact I'm awaiting the arrival of our Handbook of Nature Study. My first question is when will the 2010 Autumn Challenges start? My second question is what will be the topic of each challenge (if you don't mind sharing)? I checked the sample but it did not include a table of contents to see that. I may buy the e-book, but that needs to wait a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I just received mine and it looks wonderful! Thank you for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn Series of Challenges start on 9/17/10.
ReplyDeleteI do not give the topics out ahead of time..part of the benefit for purchasing an ebook.
The sample has the first challenge which is a more generic challenge getting you to read a bit in the Handbook and then set up your nature journals.
Okay Barb, that helps! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCan this be used on a Kindle? Some ebooks are password protected and can't be. Since my Kindle is my pathway to ebooks, I'd like to know ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea for sure. The ebook is one big pdf file that I email to you.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't protected it against that sort of thing and it is simply a pdf, then it should easily be put onto a reader like the Kindle. I purchased an e-curriculum last year that did have that protection. Made me crazy when I realized I wouldn't be able to have it on my Kindle. Thanks!

Will the challenges be applicable to where I'm at? I'm considering your AWESOME deal, and also considering blogging along... but I want to be sure at least the majority of the challenges will be something we can participate in... e-mail me, please?
thanks,

Thank you Barbara for the good work. I still don't understand how you manage to do all this. I've purchased my series...can't wait to start.

Hey.. I was waiting for this! What timing too.. just got the kids' survivors benefits. What better cause could a few bucks go toward than their education?? :-)
ReplyDeleteBlogged this for you too.

I'm hoping to be able to purchase the e-book this time. I've been kinda doing this on our own for a while (started with the first 10 challenges on your site), but we got a bit off track over the summer. I was wondering one other thing. I was going to purchase the Art/Music curriculum through Fine Arts for my children (I have a 2nd and K5), but the deal with buying the ones here is so great I was wondering if I should just get the one with the nature e-book? I hope that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteYes, the art in the Autumn ebook would be age appropriate and fun for your children. It would get through at least the first nine or so weeks and then you could decide to use the winter book with art included if you wanted to continue (it is only $8.95 for the whole thing).
Email me if you have any more questions. harmonyfinearts@yahoo.com

Hi
ReplyDeleteI just bought your Ebook so I can prepare each week. Looking forward to it!
Monica
What is the age range for your outside challenge book? Will there be a winter one?
ReplyDeleteNamaste, Nicole
There is a Winter Ebook available now on the sidebar of my blog. I am not writing a new OHC book for 2011 but we will be working our way through last year's challenges with the Winter Wednesday Challenges thrown in. You can see all the challenges on the Winter Tab on the top of my blog. The challenges are written for families and we have PreK (adapted) to high school age children participating. They are very flexible.
ReplyDeleteHope that answers your questions.
