New Spring Series Nature Study with Art and Music Appreciation

Spring Series Cover
I realized this morning that I did not announce my new ebook on this blog yet! I know that many of you used the Winter Series Ebook for your art and music appreciation this past season and I wanted to make sure you saw the new ebook for spring.

I have totally ramped up the art and music appreciation for this ebook and you will not be disappointed. Even if you did not use the nature study part of this ebook, you would be getting three month's worth of art and music appreciation ideas to use with your children at a reasonable price. The artists featured are Berthe Morisot, Albert Bierstadt, and Georges Seurat.
The featured composers are Franz Schubert, Maurice Ravel, and Johannes Brahms.

The new Spring Series Nature Study Ebook includes:

  • 10 Outdoor Hour Challenges-6 completely new challenges and 4 continuing studies (Seasonal Tree, Weather, Cattail, and Bird). All the Outdoor Hour Challenges in this ebook are based on the Handbook of Nature Study and include page numbers and suggested learning observations. The four on-going studies are totally revamped with a new spring focus and they will inspire you to continue in your year-long studies that you started in Autumn or Winter.
  • 10 Outdoor Hour Challenge notebook pages and nature journal suggestions.
  • 3 months' worth of art and music appreciation- 3 composers and 3 artists with links, prints to view, coordinating projects, a coloring page, and notebook pages. Also included in two of the months are additional ideas for studying several instruments in the orchestra along with your listening time.
  • Ideas for field trips other than your normal Outdoor Hour Challenge backyard adventures.
  • Links for further enrichment for each Outdoor Hour Challenge, artist study, and composer study.
  • Complete list of resources and instructions to get started with this ebook.
  • 50 pages
You will have a complete plan at your fingertips for your spring nature study, art appreciation, and music study. You will need to have the Handbook of Nature Study in order to complete the nature study challenges. All of the art prints are included in the ebook and there are links to viewing them online as well. This time the three featured composers and their music are offered on one CD: Classical Music Start-Up Kit Volume Two. You can choose to purchase this CD for convenience or use the online links to listen to the music suggested in the music appreciation plans. I have aimed to keep these challenges and studies as simple as possible with very few additional resources needed.

When you receive your ebook, you will receive information on which tracks you can buy separately if you wish to keep your costs down.

Please realize that the challenges will still be offered for free on my blog over ten weeks, starting Friday, April 2nd. The ebook gathers the challenges all into one easy to use resource along with the custom notebook pages. If you purchase the book now, you will have the complete ten week plan all at one time for you to use as you find time. The notebook pages will *not* be offered on the blog for free this time.

Spring Nature Study with Art and Music Appreciation Ebook:
Contains all the challenges, custom notebook pages for nature study as well as art and music appreciation, and three months' worth of art and music appreciation.
50 pages for $8.95.


Note: There might be a delay in you receiving the ebook in your inbox. I am emailing each book out myself and the delay can be up to 12 hours. Also, I will be emailing the book to the email address on your Paypal.com account.








Please note: The spring themed art and music appreciation plans and notebook pages are only available with the Spring Nature Study Ebook above.

I bought this over the weekend and printed out the pages that needed printing yesterday. The quality of the artwork, the pictures, the study itself are a bargain for just under nine dollars! I will review this on my blog around the end of April. This should liven up our school day a bit!

I may just do this one by myself! Having a very hard time getting my high schooler interested in Nature Study and I miss it!!

Betty said...

Thanks Barb for the opportunity to win!! I could really use your e-book right now! Many Blessings to you!

MiaZagora,

Thank you for the really nice feedback. I am so glad you are going to participate in the Spring Series.

Hopewell,
Absolutely the best way to get someone else interested is to get started yourself. I do this a lot with my teen boys. They end up enjoying it and of course I let them adapt the study to their style.

Betty,
Thanks for the comment....wish I could give everything away!

Art, music AND nature study have all fallen by the wayside here, even moreso lately since bringing our third child home. I am very excited to order this!

melanie said...

I'm sure my kiddos would enjoy any of the items you have listed. Thank you for the give-away. The new book looks great.

The robins have arrived, and the last of the snow is almost gone! We are eager for the soil to dry out enough to work in it. My two youngest have birthdays this week ~ both are wishing for seeds to start for the gardens. =)

Melissa said...

I so appreciate how easy you make it to do Nature Study, Art, and Music.

I hope this doesn't post twice, since my first comment seems to have vanished into the ether...

My kids had a blast using the signs of spring page last Friday. My son insisted that he needed to draw two things in each box, since there were way too many things to limit it to 4!

I'm looking forward to doing a more coherent study of music and art along with nature study this trimester!

I could definitely use some inspiration in the art appreciation arena. Fingers crossed!

Barb-this looks great. I posted a recommendation to check out your post on my blog at: http://poindexteracademy.blogspot.com/2010/03/nature-art-and-music-appreciation.html

We need to spend more time in these areas for SURE!

Thank you,
