Seasons Afield is a nature-based homeschool curriculum for Kindergarten-3rd grade students, designed to connect school, nature, and home in a meaningful way, inspired by the Schullandheim approach to science and nature study. This German educational philosophy emphasizes learning through immersion in nature, fostering a deep understanding of the natural world.

This teacher guide supports parents through a literature-based approach, leveraging beautiful and impactful stories for memorable lessons and character development. Field guide notecards and watercolor cards allow your child to bring their studies into the natural world.

Based on the changing seasons, the guide leads students through exploration of topics such as plant and animal life cycles, weather patterns, moon phases, water cycle, basic botany, ecosystems, and beyond. Through nature-inspired handicrafts, art appreciation, and recipes, students engage in both creative and scientific discovery, all while developing important life skills and a sense of responsibility for the environment.

Seasons Afield meets standards for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and includes field notecards and field watercolor cards to document observations and foster scientific thinking.

Designed to inspire a lifelong love of nature and learning, Seasons Afield supports students in building a holistic understanding of science, art, and life. Like all our studies, lessons are designed to be flexible, allowing families to tailor activities and pace to meet the needs of their students.
 

  • We highly recommend each student has their own notebook and fieldnote & watercolor cards.

Disappointed

We had been using another nature curriculum for a few years and decided to try this last fall. It has a great book list, but that’s about as far as I can recommend it. It simply is not a nature study or natural science curriculum. It has lots of fiction and art tutorials, art study, handcraft, and a few activities with very specialized supplies. Very little nature study information is supplied.

Hi Shannon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that this study didn’t meet your expectations.

Seasons Afield was designed to meet Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) while offerring a gentle, observation-driven introduction to science. Our goal is to encourage curiosity and connection with the natural world while presenting key scientific ideas appropriate for K-3rd students.

We’re grateful for your feedback and always looking for ways to better serve homeschool families. Please feel free to reach out if there’s anything we can do to help.

Truly Beautiful

My kids and I have really enjoyed this guide. Full of great books! When the kids ask to do history every day you know it’s a winner! (: Thank y’all for making something truly beautiful.

Lovely elementary science/nature study

I used this for grades 1 and 4 with a tag-along preschooler. Two of them really enjoyed the regular water colors (I did his with the girls when he opted out), the books were great, and my now-6 year old still asks for green tea with honey, which she was first willing to try because of this study!
