Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots by Sharon Lovejoy
This book is scheduled for Terms 3 and 4 and is spread over all four cycles. I chose Terms 3 and 4 because, if you begin school in late Summer or early Fall (with Term 1), the gardening activities in this book will make most sense in Terms 3 and 4.

1000 Hours Outside by Ginny Yurich
This book is scheduled over all four cycles and by season. I have made an assumption that families will begin with Term 1 in late summer and end Term 4 in Spring/Early Summer. If you are beginning school at another time of the year, you will want to use this book differently, to line up with the season you are in.

The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling by John Muir Laws
This book is scheduled over all four cycles, so that students will learn little bits of nature drawing and journaling techniques at a time, over four years. This book is first scheduled in Cycle 1, though I believe it is okay to jump in at any point, so starting with the Cycle 4 readings and projects shouldn’t be a problem.
