OHC Blog Carnival-November World Edition

Outdoor Hour button
Those of us who made it outdoors during November were treated to a variety of nature study experiences. For our family we enjoyed the push to learn more about salmon and to spend some time looking for interesting things in our autumn season. I am sending a big thank you to all the families that supported the carnival this month....shorter than usual but just as enjoyable. I look forward to seeing your December nature study as we work through some informal challenges over the next few weeks.
