Blossom and Root’s Nature Study and Science program shines

While Blossom and Root offers a phenomenal, complete nature-based curriculum, we wanted to put a special focus on its stellar science program which can be purchased separately or as part of the entire program. Blossom and Root’s Nature Study and Science program can stand alone or be used as a supplement to science studied in school. Blossom and Root was was inspired by the Waldorf philosophy and Charlotte Mason's teachings, which together emphasize the imaginative, hands-on environment that a student will find themselves in, as well as foster a child's lifelong curiosity and love for learning. The PK-4th grade curriculum offered by Blossom and Root is highly adaptable to your personal schedule and learning needs, while simultaneously offering a nature-based, hands-on experience for your student(s). Blossom and Root integrates a well-rounded curriculum with the hands-on discovery that makes learning fun and interactive.. Blossom and Root utilizes online curriculums that are sent to the purchaser. These curriculums contain lessons, activities, and journal entry directions for each subject, plus a guide on how to teach and prepare for the lessons. Blossom and Root is an excellent choice for playful, kinesthetic, and creative learners, as its hands-on and activity-based approach to education will engage them and build a lifelong love for learning. Families love that Blossom and Root offers a quality education while not requiring much preparation or adjustment, due to its extreme flexibility. We strongly recommend that parents purchase Blossom and Roots' Book Seeds, which are additional selections of activities based on children's literature. Users of Blossom and Root recommend that you select one of the provided schedules (available in every parent's guide to a resource) and stick to it to maintain consistency and a beneficial work environment..
