We’ve finally gotten back into the swing of nature walks. This week our focus was inspired by Sprite’s current read– Christian Liberty Press’s Nature Reader. The material on ants is very engaging and offers enough mystery that you want to go outdoors and actually see what you’re reading. So we did. Ants. How easy can […]
