What the Learning Bundle Provides:

Four Seasonal Unit Studies: Each guide offers four weeks of themed nature learning that explore the joys and lessons of the changing seasons. Whether it's growing and thriving in summer, harvesting and giving thanks in autumn, finding comfort and sustenance in winter, or learning about a plant's cycle in spring, these units include detailed lesson plans that incorporate science, art, literature, and Bible study. For example, children will create lemon volcanoes in summer, bake harvest bread in autumn, explore snowflake science in winter, and plant resurrection gardens in spring.

Literature-Based Learning: Encourage a love of reading with a curated selection of seasonal picture books. Each guide includes age-appropriate stories that connect to the season's themes, offering opportunities for comprehension practice, creative writing, and vocabulary building. Pair stories like The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats with creative activities like puffy paint snowflakes or Miss Maple's Seeds by Eliza Wheeler with a seed germination experiment.

Nature and Art Studies: Children will explore the natural world through art projects and hands-on nature studies. Create watercolor winter landscapes, craft pressed flower art, and enjoy seasonal outdoor adventures like collecting leaves or bird watching. Each guide encourages creativity while fostering observational skills and a love for the environment.

Hands-On Activities and Crafts: Seasonal projects like making honey granola bars, pinecone animals, or a leaf garland are designed to engage all the senses and develop fine and gross motor skills. These activities also encourage family bonding as everyone participates in fun, educational tasks together.

Character Development: In alignment with The Peaceful Press’s mission, these lessons focus on more than just academic growth. They are designed to build core values such as gratitude, kindness, patience, and resilience—principles that naturally align with the seasonal cycles of planting, growth, harvest, and rest.

Hard Skills: Each guide includes phonics and counting activities to support early literacy and numeracy development. Children will learn through nature patterns, letter sound practice, and seasonal number games like counting seeds, measuring snow, and matching shapes.
