Outdoor Hour Challenge:
This month we will be using the Reptile and Amphibian Grid Study from the April Newsletter to help us learn more about this interesting topic. Feel free to cut your grid to fit your nature journal or to customize your journal to fit your interests. Don't forget that you can save the grid study for a future date if you don't have access to any reptiles or amphibians for this month's nature study.

Getting Started Suggestion: If you already own the Getting Started ebook, complete Outdoor Hour Challenge #2. Use your words to describe any reptiles or amphibians you observe this month. Learning new vocabulary is an important part of nature study and will help your children in their later study of any life science.
You are welcome to submit any of you blog Outdoor Hour Challenge blog entries to the Outdoor Hour Challenge Blog Carnival. Entries for the current month are due on 4/29/13.
