Nature’s calendar
If you follow closely all the changes that take place in a year, you can make your own calendar of nature. In a notebook or on a lined board you can note the daily weather changes on your own or weekly, such as:
- air temperature, rainfall, wind direction;
- changes in plant life: the appearance of the first leaves, flowering, fruiting, wilting and falling leaves, etc;
- events in animal life: the arrival and departure of migratory birds, the appearance / disappearance of insects;
- the main activities of the people (seasonal).
Don’t forget every time you fill in to write down the date, how the weather was and what you noticed. In this way you can find in your notes the day when the first snow fell, or the day when the snowdrops bloomed, the day when the migratory birds left or when the trees blossomed. You can decorate, or color and customize your calendar as you want, you can use icons or stickers, you can work alone or in a team, with colleagues or friends, to consult and compare notes.
Here is an example of a nature calendar:

Today it was partly cloudy, in my walk through the museum I saw a blackbird and a squirrel. There are many ants on the ground. The children go to school, we have one month until the holidays. Grandma says you have to take care of the trees in the garden.
