Nature Journal- The Tabs

coverOne day a long time ago, I sat down and put together the organization of the children's nature journals, Before this we used little booklets or loose paper.

Here is the organization of the journal. The main categories will be bold and the subcategories will be italic.

  • >Gear (store specialty pages that are made to hold specimens)
  • >Writings (for poems, Bible verses, other works not by the child)
  • >Animal Kingdom | Glossary
  • >Trees | Specimen | Observation
  • >The Great Garden | My Garden | Flowers | Wild Places | Reference
  • >Skywatching | Weather | Bird Watching (bird feeder pages) | Nightsky (stars and planets)
  • >Journal (Poems, notes, etc. by the child)
  • >Sketching (Place heavy paper here that is to be used by the child for drawings. The drawings may be later placed in the proper category.)
