FAQ

Can I use Firefly in my classroom? Yes! Although they are written from a homeschooling perspective, most of the lessons will work in a class setting and would be great for science lessons as well as for field trips and outdoor classrooms. Please contact me laura@fireflynatureschool.com to discuss options for classroom, co-op and group use. 

What ages are the lessons for?
The short answer is ALL AGES. Lessons are created to be adaptable for different age and ability levels, with differing levels of support.

We live in the city. Will this work for us?
Yes! You can find nature in your own yard, a park, a nature center, or a natural area nearby. Nature schooling is about connecting with nature however you can.

What do we need to get started with nature schooling?
One of the great things about nature schooling is that you don’t need much to get started. Just taking your kids outside is the first step. Eventually, you may want to make a little kit that goes with you. Our nature schooling kit that my kids put together includes a small backpack, compass, binoculars (kids size), magnifying glass, field microscope, notebook, pencil, flashlight and tape measure.
